WE think – great book by Charles Leadbeater
Charles Leadbeater explores in his book how the web is changing our world, creating a culture in which more people than ever can participate, share and collaborate, ideas and information.
Ideas take life when they are shared. That is why the web is such a potent platform for creativity and innovation.
It’s also at the heart of why the web should be good for : democracy, by giving more people a voice and the ability to organise themselves; freedom, by giving more people the opportunity to be creative and equality, by allowing knowledge to be set free.
But sharing also brings with it dilemmas.
The book is really worth reading!
The outlines of the ideas in the book you can see in this video:

So I recommend this video summary which I found via Ulrike Reinhardt: [...]
A sure sign of a good book is that you like it more the older you get.
