Everyday Chaos

Our approach to the future has been rooted in imagining what it might be and preparing for the eventuality that is to come. But no more. Now the future arrives all at once, and our strategies for dealing with it must change, too. Readers will learn about the core idea of interoperability and why it matters in a post-strategy world, and how it explains new techniques that seek to mine, rather than predict the future. Brings cutting-edge ideas from the places like the Berkman Center and open-source university library projects down to earth. Weinberger tells interesting, insightful stories that reader won't have heard before--stories that make his core ideas easy to understand and digest. Provides a roadmap for new behaviors in a non-linear world--we go from chaos theory, Weinberger writes, to chaos practice, and this is the new map. Audience: David's readers are an eclectic mix of people who think about how the internet and its tendrils are pushing their way into all facets of our lives, and especially into how we think about knowledge. That intersection--of the 'net, knowledge, and behavior--occurs most obviously in business.
