Of the about 200 academic books in https://web.archive.org/web/20100220014826/http://www.webnographers.org/index.php?title=Main_Page (webnographers.org) about the Internet Revolution, only one, Chris Kelty's "Two Bits," is modulatable, - an innovation in open source and free idea sharing, significantly due to digital technologies and the internet.




Kelty, Christopher M. 2008. Two Bits: The Cultural Significance of Free Software. Durham, NC: Duke University Press.


This book is designed as an academic conversation which you can help write; it's designed to be interactively edited and modulated. You can find it here at https://web.archive.org/web/20100710041820/http://www.webnographers.org/index.php?title=Books (webnographers.org/index.php?title=Books#Free_Software_Culture)


'Two Bits' from Duke University Press is also available for free, as part of the free software movement, here: twobits.net, where you can modulate it.

It's like a wiki (editable web pages).
