Shutting Down The Liquid City Kickstarter, Starting Liquid City Book
Some friends have said that I set the target too high, others said my video was too long: whatever. It looked pretty clear that with 9 days left and only $2100 so far, I am unlikely to hit $10,000. So I am shelving the Liquid City kickstarter project.
However, I am going to write the book, anyway.
Things will be slightly different. I won’t be setting up an elaborate gated community on Squarespace, so community participation will be more haphazard and open. But I am going to set up a dedicated site for my monthly ruminations, which will — as before — culminate in a monthly essay.
And each month, I will sell the essay for the princely sum of $1. The final book will be $10, comprising 10 essays, an intro and an outro. I may do webinars, if enough people sign up for them. On that, more to follow.
Essays will include these:
The Rise Of Liquid Media
The Architecture of Cooperation
The Social Revolution: It’s Not Democratic, It’s Neo-Tribal
Social Cognition: Your Thoughts Are Not Your Own
Social Density, Influence, And Social Scenes
Privacy versus Publicy: Identity Politics and Social Contracts
Webbed And Urban: Supercharging Superlinearity?
I think I will start with The Architecture of Cooperation, since that is the subject of the TEDxMidAtlantic talk I am presenting in a few weeks.
