Miscellaneous

David Weinberger’s (author of Small Pieces Loosely Joined and co-author of The Cluetrain Manifesto) recent book Everything is Miscellaneous (May, 2007) is about "how we’re pulling ourselves together now that we’ve blown ourselves to bits". Early reviews and related podcasts are on his blog. JD Lasica's Modest Review on Social Media quotes Weinberger:

From management structures to encyclopedias, to the courses of study we put our children through, to the way we decide what's worth believing, we have organized our ideas with principles designed for use in a world limited by the laws of physics.

Suppose that now, for the first time in history, we are able to arrange our concepts without the silent limitations of the physical. How might our ideas, organizations, and knowledge itself change?
