It’s a lively gathering of fresh perspectives and probing insights that should feed the imagination of anyone interested in forging a commons-based society. The authors range from primatologist Frans de Waal, Pulitzer-prize winning novelist Michael Chabon (writing nonfiction here), digerati blogger Cory Doctorow (writing fiction here), essayist Rebecca Solnit and OTC’s own David Bollier.
