Here Comes Everybody

The Power of Organizing Without Organizations


by Clay Shirky

Published February 24, 2009



A woman loses her phone and recruits an army of volunteers to get it back from the person who stole it. A dissatisfied airline passenger spawns a national movement by taking her case to the Web. A handful of kids in Belarus create a political protest that the state is powerless to stop....

For the first time in history, the tools for cooperating on a global scale are not solely in the hands of governments or institutions. The spread of the internet and mobile phones are changing how people come together and get things done -- and sparking a revolution that, as Clay Shirky shows, is changing what we do, how we do it, and even who we are.
