The Cluetrain Manifesto began as a Web site (cluetrain.com) in 1999 when the authors, who have worked variously at IBM, Sun Microsystems, the Linux Journal, and NPR, posted 95 theses about the new reality of the networked marketplace. Ten years after its original publication, their message remains more relevant than ever. For example, thesis no. 2: Markets consist of human beings, not demographic sectors; thesis no. 20: Companies need to realize their markets are often laughing. At them. The book enlarges on these themes through dozens of stories and observations about business in America and how the Internet will continue to change it all.With a new introduction and chapters by the authors, and commentary by Jake McKee, JP Rangaswami, and Dan Gillmor, this book is essential reading for anybody interested in the Internet and e-commerce, and is especially vital for businesses navigating the topography of the wired marketplace.

Too Big to Know

Set in the hallways of an imaginary conference on philosophy and nuclear war, Nuclear Dialogues presents conversations on a wide range of arms race issues in a variety of philosophical styles and from a variety of standpoints. Among the questions: Do philosophers have anything unique to contribute? What does it mean to be against nuclear weapons? How sexist are attitudes towards peace activism? Does the policy of deterrence involve making threats, and when is it morally O.K. to make threats? Is the policy a form of hostage-taking? Does the same morality bind nations and individuals? Is it literally insane to plan a nuclear war? Is it wrong to let emotions influence moral judgments? Can lives be the subject of calculation? How important is the nuclear issue? What is peace and what are ways of working towards it? Nuclear Dialogues is accessible to those with no philosophic training and is a useful text for courses on the arms race and international relations.

Everyday Chaos: Technology, Complexity, and How We’re Thriving in a New World of Possibility

Harvard Business Review Press

Artificial intelligence, big data, modern science, and the internet are all revealing a fundamental truth: The world is vastly more complex and unpredictable than we've allowed ourselves to see. 
Now that technology is enabling us to take advantage of all the chaos it's revealing, our understanding of how things happen is changing--and with it our deepest strategies for predicting, preparing for, and managing our world. This affects everything, from how we approach our everyday lives to how we make moral decisions and how we run our businesses. 
Take machine learning, which makes better predictions about weather, medical diagnoses, and product performance than we do--but often does so at the expense of our understanding of how it arrived at those predictions. While this can be dangerous, accepting it is also liberating, for it enables us to harness the complexity of an immense amount of data around us. We are also turning to strategies that avoid anticipating the future altogether, such as A/B testing, Minimum Viable Products, open platforms, and user-modifiable video games. We even take for granted that a simple hashtag can organize unplanned, leaderless movements such as #MeToo. 
Through stories from history, business, and technology, philosopher and technologist David Weinberger finds the unifying truths lying below the surface of the tools we take for granted--and a future in which our best strategy often requires holding back from anticipating and instead creating as many possibilities as we can. The book’s imperative for business and beyond is simple: Make. More. Future. 
The result is a world no longer focused on limitations but optimized for possibilities.
