At once a profound historical analysis of the development of human culture and a blueprint for the future, <i>Collective Intelligence</i> is a visionary work.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Pierre Lévy</b> is a professor in the Department of Hypermedia at the University of Paris-VIII, scientific advisor to the TriVium company, and member of the advisory board of the Pompidou Center's Virtual Review.
