Clay Shirky gives talk on Cognitive Surplus

The Penguin Blog - Wed, 06/30/2010 - 10:11

We were thrilled and privileged to have Clay Shirky come into the Penguin offices at 80 Strand yesterday lunchtime to give a fascinating insight into his new book: Cognitive Surplus.

Explaining how for decades, technology encouraged us to squander our time as passive consumers, Clay Shirky argues technology has finally caught up with human potential and examines the changes we will all enjoy as our untapped resources of talent and good will are put to use at last.
