… is having friends who write books. John Naughton, my long time colleague and friend at the OU, and writer of the Observer’s excellent internet column, has a new book out. It breaks down the important lessons of the internet into 9 essential ideas, such as ‘For the Net, disruption is a feature, not a bug’. While being aimed at a general audience it manages to get across some very complex ideas. It’s the type of book I wish politicians, broadcasters and lawyers would read before pronouncing idiotic judgements about the net.
This is a review copy, it comes out in January. You know at least three people who should read it.
