For the second time in human history, we are on the verge of a great leap forward in health, productivity, and personal freedom. And networks are the reason. Social media networks, online forums, and guerilla broadcasting are gaining influence throughout the world. In business, government, and war, information is no longer the preserve of a few at the top. Networks are connecting us in communities with fewer organizational layers and now everyone knows what anyone knows. In movements, swarms, walkouts, strikes, and insurrections, people are marching into the public square, sharing experience directly in real time and demanding a greater voice in the decisions that affect their lives. People are starting to think together.

This shift to a flatter, more informed world has been a long time coming, and it is a colorful story of technology wizards waving us on, of philosophers struggling for centuries against entrenched aristocracies, and of science fiction writers, futurists, and sociologists offering dozens of new schemes for living more freely together.
