The spread of the internet and mobile phones are changing how people come together and get things done--and sparking a revolution that, as Clay Shirky shows, is changing what we do, how we do it, and even who we are. Here, we encounter a whoman who loses her phone and recruits an army of volunteers to get it back from the person who stole it. A dissatisfied airline passenger who spawns a national movement by taking her case to the web. And a handful of kids in Belarus who create a political protest that the state is powerless to stop. \u003ci\u003eHere Comes Everybody \u003c\/i\u003eis a revelatory examination of how the wildfirelike spread of new forms of social interaction enabled by technology is changing the way humans form groups and exist within them. A revolution in social organization has commenced, and Clay Shirky is its brilliant chronicler.","brand":"Penguin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51944228815079,"sku":"9780143114949","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0449\/4075\/5096\/files\/imageloader_95e9fd62-de19-46d3-9e38-ed7811c19489.jpg?v=1775356408","url":"https:\/\/arvidabookco.com\/products\/here-comes-everybody-the-power-of-organizing-without-organizations","provider":"Arvida Book Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
