Authors@MIT | David Weinberger: Everyday Chaos Join the MIT Press
Bookstore in welcoming philosopher, technologist and local author
David Weinberger, to talk about his latest book, Everyday Chaos. Now
that technology is enabling us to take advantage of all the chaos it's
revealing, our understanding of how things happen is changing--and
with it our deepest strategies for predicting, preparing for, and
managing our world. This affects everything, from how we approach our
everyday lives to how we make moral decisions and how we run our
businesses. Through stories from history, business, and technology,
David Weinberger finds the unifying truths lying below the surface of
the tools we take for granted--and a future in which our best strategy
often requires holding back from anticipating and instead creating as
many possibilities as we can. The book’s imperative for business and
beyond is simple: Make. More. Future. From the earliest days of the
web, David Weinberger has been a pioneering thought leader about the
internet's effect on our lives, on our businesses, and most of all on
our ideas. He has contributed to areas ranging from marketing and
libraries to politics and journalism as a strategic marketing VP and
consultant, an internet adviser to presidential campaigns, an early
social-networking entrepreneur, a writer-in-residence at Google, a
senior researcher at Harvard's Berkman Klein Center for Internet &
Society, a fellow at Harvard's Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics
and Public Policy, a Franklin Fellow at the US State Department, and a
philosophy professor. His writing has appeared in publications from
Wired to Harvard Business Review, and his books include the
bestselling The Cluetrain Manifesto.
