Now, with <i>Cognitive Surplus</i>, he reveals how new digital technology is unleashing a torrent of creative production that will transform our world. For the first time, people are embracing new media that allow them to pool their efforts at vanishingly low cost. The results of this aggregated effort range from mind-expanding reference tools like Wikipedia to life-saving Web sites like Ushahidi.com, which allows Kenyans to report acts of violence in real time. <i>Cognitive Surplus</i> explores what's possible when people unite to use their intellect, energy, and time for the greater good.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Clay Shirky teaches at the Interactive Telecommunications Program at NYU, where he researches the interrelated effects of our social and technological networks.
