Here comes everybody

About “Here comes everybody”

This 2008 non-fiction work by Clay Shirky, published by Penguin Press, examines the effect of the Internet on modern group dynamics and organization, considering examples such as Wikipedia, MySpace, and other social media. According to Shirky, the book is about what happens when people are given tools to do things together without needing traditional organizational structures. Its title alludes to HCE, a recurring central figure in James Joyce's Finnegans Wake, and considers self-organizing movements' impacts on culture, politics, and business.
