I’ve had a “reading list” post kicking about my drafts for a while, covering actual paper books (gasp!) about web 2.0 and such. But I never got around to posting it. And then yesterday, I saw UK social guy Dave Briggs posted one. With many of the same books as I’ve been meaning to read. Dang, scooped again…
Anyhow, here’s my list:
Anderson, Chris. The Long Tail: Why the Future of Business is Selling Less of More.
Benkler, Yochai. The Wealth of Networks: How Social Production Transforms Markets and Freedom.
Carr, Nicholas. The Big Switch: Rewiring the World, from Edison to Google.
Greenfield, Adam. Everyware: The Dawning Age of Ubiquitous Computing.
Lessig, Lawrence. Code: Version 2.0.
Livingston, Geoff. Now Is Gone: A Primer on New Media for Executives and Entrepreneurs.
Levine, Rick, Locke, Christopher, Searls, Doc and Weiberger, David. The Cluetrain Manifesto: The End of Business as Usual.
Morville, Peter. Ambient Findability: What We Find Changes Who We Become.
Rheingold, Howard. Smart Mobs: The Next Social Revolution.
Scoble, Robert. Naked Conversations: How Blogs are Changing the Way Businesses Talk with Customers.
Shirky, Clay. Here Comes Everybody: The Power of Organizing Without Organizations.
Surowiecki, James. The Wisdom of Crowds.
Tapscott, Don. Wikinomics: How Mass Collaboration Changes Everything.
Weinberger, David. Everything Is Miscellaneous: The Power of the New Digital Disorder.
I’ve actually gotten a fair ways into Cluetrain now, and have managed the first chapter of Miscellaneous. Both good reads so far…
Thanks for the link, and for the further suggestions!
Thanks for including Now Is Gone on the list, which is impressive.
You’re welcome. What I figger will be impressive is if I actually get around to reading these books! I might have to do something radical, like turning off my computer once in a while… yikes!
Thanks for the list! I have read about half. *bookmarking for future reference*
