Some of my favourite reads are... Alvin Toffler's 'Future Shock' - unbelievably written in 1970 but really Toffler describes the internet... explores the fact we're suffering from 'over choice' and transience. Clay Shirky's 'Here comes everybody' is a nice easy read, looking at our networked society. Also anything by Seth Godin (e.g. 'Tribes') inc. his blog: http://sethgodin.typepad.com/. My friend Alan Moore co-wrote 'Communities Dominate Brands' a while back and is working on a fantastic new book. Worth checking out his blog: http://smlxtralarge.com/. Definitely check out The Cluetrain Manifesto too. In terms of looking at pirate companies, Local Motors is pretty interesting: http://www.local-motors.com/ and Toms Shoes: http://www.tomsshoes.com 'Think local, act global' is a phrase that's bandied around a lot lately... and holds true. Our ultra-connectedness has a tremendous leveling effect, hence big business's struggle in the face of stiff competition from citizens, who are rapidly becoming publishers and producers. A meritocracy is emerging, in which everyone has the opportunity to have a voice and a following. Exciting times! Thanks for the comment.

This "revoluntion" looks to me as an "older" person to be a true movement that will change the corporate-run world. I am so encouraged. I am looking for further resources if you can provide any. I am promote the reading of Pirate by political activists in my generation so we can support more fully this ideology. I am so hopeful and encouraged by the leadership and changes being lead by Gen Xers and Yers!! Go guys!! We want to support this movement!!
