Changing the Way Books are Written

This could be a very significant change in the way books are written – if it works. To date, almost all books have been written by one person or several people collaborating on an effort. A few books have been written as compilations of individual author’s essays.

MIT and Wharton are experimenting with having up to a million people write a book on how community process influences and changes business. What’s amazing about this so far is that people participating are not only writing the book but they are changing the software being used to write the book.

This process could significantly change many creative endeavors.
