**[[TheFWD lucasgonzalez No island is an island]] Asking "what if this patch of land were to become isolated" is only the start, cos it's not isolated. So here we look for ways to do ++)++ (joy, skin, contribution) in space and in time, from an islander's perspective.
**[[TheFWD lucasgonzalez No island is an island]] Relative physical isolation gives some clues to standing on our feet while being part of the world.
**[[TheFWD lucasgonzalez My ideal panflu]] Pandemics happen and some are bad, so how do we prepare, then respond, then clean up afterwards? In a specific deadly scenario, we'd reduce infections, treat the ill, cope with the mess. Before and after that, we set radical goals, do good science + hive common sense + a specific set of shared values.

Revision as of 20:23, 30 June 2010

A collaborative book project about the future

We'll have some other collaboration tools online shortly, but for now, welcome to the wiki.

Inspirations and Guidance

  • Pieces should be short - 500 words is ideal, 800 max. Pieces will be hypertext objects, with links to more information on every page. Pick one thing and make a little jewel box that describes it. Remember you can do more than one piece.
  • We will group pieces into patterns together. The brief is loose to see what is out there, what great wonders people have to show. Order and sense will be made in the sequencing, and possibly additional pieces used to frame sets of pieces.
  • seven thousand einsteins is about the right length (500 words) and nicely illustrates one central idea, but it's more chatty than I would have written it for the book. (you can be as chatty as you like) @leashless
  • Hexayurt Project in a Nutshell is too long and doesn't get down to the core fast enough. @leashless

The Shape of the Book

  • Idea One: 100 short essays (< 1000 words?, 500-800 words)
  • Idea Two: 99 short essays, and one long piece about 1/3 of the length of the whole pulling together a coherent vision from the parts - I like this one!

Features

  • GFDL or similar license
  • POD or short print run demanding on shape of demand
  • Could be the first of a series
  • Web site which has each essay in the book, and some kind of network for navigating between the essays, as well as (critically) connecting with the authors to Make Things Happen
  • Openness to projects documenting themselves as book entries
  • Translation of as much content and into as many languages as the internet smartcrowd allows

FAQ

The unapproved FAQ can be found on the discussions page. Eventually the official FAQ will be moved here.

Abstracts

(for now, a paragraph-long summary of your idea, and link here. we'll do some more work on sorting out how to process abstracts and submit articles for the book very soon)

(guys, let's move the abstracts to the contributor sections - I think that's the way to do it for now)
