Today marks the start of an amazing two-day symposium on the economics of open content at MIT, with appearances from Richard Stallman, James Surowiecki, the creators of MIT's open courseware program, representatives from Tor Books and MIT Press, Henry Jenkins, Terry Fisher, a rep from Yahoo's Open Content Alliance, Yochai Benkler, and many other exciting speakers.
The event kicks off at 8:30 this morning, Hotel@MIT, 20 Sidney Street, Cambridge, MA 02139. Link (Thanks, Peter!)
I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.
