Hi Johnny,

Very interesting. You might want to tie into a UCD/DCU group that are looking at web-semantic ways of measuring/monitoring the same thing.

Drop me a mail if that sounds relevant.
Keep up the good work with the blog,

Ronan.

I don’t buy books with centrifuge in the title as a general rule.

BUT – I need to get the “future of business, politics, and culture” in there so that it’s clear that this is a practical book with material that a business strategist should read too.
So how do we fit all these elements together? Emergence / Openness / Flattening-Centrifugal-etc / Business-Politics-Culture.

The idea of emergence is great. It really does the linking with the dead center/centrifugal forces. Above the idea of “order” seems great too. A mish-mash:

Centrifugal emergence: A history of the Internet and its lessons for the future of Order

might want to put an s to order(s) or not

Cheers and good luck

The Internet is for porn.

Could be a catchy title.

Cheers Al. Emergence is a very interesting idea. It does not, however, describe the flattening and distribution that comes with the Internet. I need a word for that.

Hey Johnny,

Not sure if you’ve settled on a title just yet, but I’ve had a thought, one which I may or may not have mentioned to you before.

I put it forward as it seems to be exactly what it is, yet if you don’t have information in there explaining the term, the title might be out of place or redundant as well as people not quite knowing what it is on first glance which as you said is the utmost importance. That and you just might not like it.

EMERGENCE: a history of the Internet and its lessons for the future of business, politics, and society

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergence

Appropraitely the internet is given as an engineered or cultural example of emergent behaviour. At its very basic, it is millions of bottom up processes all with few but distinct boundaries or rules, resulting in an unlikely but highly complex system with no centre, no head and is difficult to predict.

But as i said then you have to explain what the term means, or into how much depth you’d want to go, so it’s probably not very straight forward. But hey, it was just a thought.

———-

Also why limit yourself to just one word? I understand the desire not to have 17 of course and for it to be catchy, but why not two if it suits better.

OPEN INTERNET: a history of the Internet and its lessons for the future of business, politics, and society

OPEN ORDER: a history of the Internet and its lessons for the future of business, politics, and society

ORDER REDEFINED: a history of the Internet and its lessons for the future of business, politics, and society

OPENNESS REDEFINED: a history of the Internet and its lessons for the future of business, politics, and society

OPEN FUTURE: a history of the Internet and its lessons for the future of business, politics, and society

OPEN CHANGE: a history of the Internet and its lessons for the future of business, politics, and society

FUNDAMENTAL CHANGE: a history of the Internet and its lessons for the future of business, politics, and society

-This one above really gets across the extent of how the world has altered due to the rise of the internet.

All of that is most probably completely useless. No matter, best of luck and looking forward to seeing you on Friday on board the boat.
