Here Comes Clay Shirky with Everybody

This evening I've been listening to Clay Shirky, on Penguin podcasts, talk about the sociological aspects of the internet. Clay Shirky is the author of 'Here Comes Everybody' and a lecturer at NYU.
The podcast features Shirky talking about large group collaborations and co-ordination on the internet especially for addressing global issues, and the future of online media. If you're curious and want to understand more about how we, as a society, use the internet and what emerging patterns are laying a path for the future of the web then Clay Shirky is not only a brilliant thinker on the topic but also a concise and elequent speaker. Although the talk dates from when 'Here Comes Everybody' was first released, in 2008, much of what he discusses is still relevant now.
Penguin podcasts are a great resource for hearing other authors speak on equally interesting works of both non-fiction and fiction.
