Reading: Here Comes Everybody: The Power of Organizing Without Organizations

9 September, 2008

Yesterday I got my hands on this book and my expectations are that it’s a lot about grassroots users and activism so I can relate this to my bachelor thesis. I will continue reading this book this week and post a review this weekend. Already in the first few pages the book got my attention on a story of a lost phone and friends of the victim who build a website en forum around this situation and gather information and supporters. Many people can achieve what a single person cannot. This is grassroots activism, now it’s around a lost phone but it can also be some corporate commercial.
