It is a future where pseudoanonymous identities with persistent reputation
contract, over the web and in person. Decisions are guided by anonymous
betting on idea future contracts. Reporters must be honest and accurate,
because bi-directional, reputation endorsed public commentary follows them
wherever they go. And Shiva V is coming to destroy the world.
Welcome to Marc Stiegler's latest book, "Earthweb". It is a space opera
with a bibliography. (And the bibliography includes some of my favorite
links: http://www.communities.com/company/papers/security/
http://www.erights.org and http://www.crit.org) Highly recommended.
[Ecommerce note: I found my copy at the local supermarket on the same day
a co-worker's advance order copy arrived from amazon.com.]
