Free: The Future of a Radical Price<\/a>
\nby Chris Anderson
\nJuly 7th 2009 by Hyperion<\/p>\n

Traditional economics operates under fundamental assumptions of scarcity–there’s only so much oil, iron, and gold in the world. But the online economy is built upon three cornerstones: processing power, hard drive storage, and bandwidth–and the costs of all these elements are trending toward zero at an incredible rate.<\/i><\/p>\n

The Exploit: A Theory of Networks<\/a>
\nby Alexander R. Galloway, Eugene Thacker
\nOctober 1st 2007 by Univ Of Minnesota Press<\/p>\n

“The Exploit is that rare thing: a book with a clear grasp of how networks operate that also understands the political implications of this emerging form of power. It cuts through the nonsense about how ‘free’ and ‘democratic’ networks supposedly are, and it offers a rich analysis of how network protocols create a new kind of control. Essential reading for all theorists, artists, activists, techheads, and hackers of the Net.”<\/em> \u2014McKenzie Wark, author of A Hacker Manifesto<\/p>\n

Group Work<\/a>
\nby Temporary Services
\nNew York, NY: Printed Matter. 2007<\/p>\n

Based on a pamphlet published by Temporary Services in 2002 titled\u00a0Group Work: A Compilation of Quotes About Collaboration from a Variety of Sources and Practices<\/em>, this publication provides a multitude of perspectives on the theme of Group Work by practitioners of artistic group practice from 1960s to the present. <\/i><\/p>\n
