Clay Shirky aborde le "surplus cognitif" - le travail collaboratif en ligne que nous effectuons grâce à nos cycles de cerveau disponibles. Tout en étant occupés à éditer Wikipedia, à poster sur Ushahidi (et, oui, à faire des LOLcats), nous construisons un monde meilleur et plus coopératif.
Clay Shirky argues that the history of the modern world could be rendered as the history of ways of arguing, where changes in media change what sort of arguments are possible -- with deep social and political implications.

Richard Stallman shares how he has created the first free operating system, and explains how nonfree programs give companies control of their users and what users can do in order to recover control over their computing
Quotes:
Nowadays, computing is so important in society that the freedoms of free software are among the human rights that society must establish and protect.
Jacques Vallée, one of the co-creators of the Internet, explains how the acceleration of technology in an increasingly connected society is producing "impossible futures" that range from rapid collapse of major banks to the emergence of complex new forms of political power, with the Internet as both a tool and a victim.
Quotes:
[The KGB] arrested people at random, and brought them to their headquarters; they had one question for them: "who do you know? who do you talk to, and what do you talk about?" If somebody wanted to do that today, they would not need to arrest people, all they need to do is look at Facebook, Twitter, Google; we give this information everyday to the network and the superstructure above the web.
[nb: slightly shortened and simplified]
The connected world provides many examples of "Impossible" futures that create a dissonance between existing cultures or belief systems... and the sudden emergence of new facts. The impact cannot be ignored.
