What Information Wants, Chapter 9: Narratives and Coordination in the Internet Age

Rhys Lindmark is writing a book about how information flows and how it’s changing on the internet. In a series of salons, we will explore this content together, chapter by chapter, and get an inside look at the author’s creative process.

• Mobs vs. movements.
