Demos is launching Open Source Democracy by Douglas Rushkoff on Friday October 10 - details here.
"From the postings of Dear Raed in Iraq to Howard Dean’s ‘Blog for America’ campaign, from the urban street reclaimers of the anti-globalisation movement to the emergence of smart mobs, new media gives new meaning to self-organising politics." You can download the full publication here with a forword by Douglas Alexander MP. The first page says, in large type, "Political structures need to change. They will emerge from people acting in the present, not talking about a fictional future". After that it is a pretty heavy 70 pages. I wish Demos would help by providing a summary so you don't have to choose between squinting at the screen for half an hour, or sacrificing another printer cartridge.
