[lbo-talk] open sourceness and its problems

[shag]

Jodi Dean edited the volume, Reformatting Politics: Information Technology 
and Global Civil Society, along with Geert Lovink and Jon W. Anderson. She 
pointed to a review (here, 
http://rccs.usfca.edu/bookinfo.asp?ReviewID=543&BookID=391 ) at her blog 
<http://jdeanicite.typepad.com/i_cite/2008/01/review-of-refor.html>. This 
caught my attention:

"Jamie King moves on to theorize openness and the problem of seeing open 
source as a technosocial precondition for emerging radical democracy, as he 
finds cryptohierarchies and structurelessness masking power in his studies 
of People's Global Action, Indymedia, and the Euraction hub."

  I'm headed off to the library's Web site to put it on interlibrary loan!
