Any chance to enter the mind of @ntnsndr.in, who thinks about tech & community & cooperation in brilliant ways, should not be missed. Including his new (free and open-access!) book #GovernableSpaces. It explores a central question of our time: Can the internet be made safe for democracy?

Lightning talks at the SF #GovernableSpaces event

Hey Bay Area! I'm excited to announce an event on #GovernableSpaces at the Internet Archive on June 8, featuring three brilliant governance experiments from:

Yasmine El Baggari (Hylo)
Émeline Brule (Sequoia Fabrica)
Dr. Shamika Klassen (CU Boulder)

Just saw this—my #GovernableSpaces interview with the great @mmasnick.bsky.social is up and out on the Techdirt Podcast: www.techdirt.com/2024/04/09/t...

I hugely admire Mike's grounded thinking on protocols and decentralization and policy. This was a really fun conversation.

I feel so at home at Solidarity Hall—a rare community that understands the interconnections of theology, philosophy, and solidarity economies.

In their newsletter today, Elias Crim and I discuss my new book #GovernableSpaces: solidarityhall.substack.com/p/a-chat-wit...

There is no democracy without a commons.

This week I am grateful to be discussing #GovernableSpaces on the Frontiers of Commoning podcast with one of my heroes, David Bollier: www.bollier.org/blog/nathan-...

David’s books are a phenomenal intro to the power and craft of commoning.

It took some doing, but now there is a link to the open-access edition of #GovernableSpaces on the CU Boulder libraries catalog: libcat.colorado.edu/Record/in000...

Before it was just the default: terrible, corporate subscription services that our academic libraries are now plagued with.

Thanks to Project Liberty for this helpful overview of my book #GovernableSpaces in their latest newsletter: email.projectliberty.io/from-digital...

This was such a fun interview—my first on #GovernableSpaces. Enjoy, open-source people!

The first review of #GovernableSpaces is out! Thanks to the Co-operative News, ever the equitable pioneers: www.thenews.coop/175977/topic...

The books will be free to the internet TOMORROW.

My new book #GovernableSpaces comes out NEXT WEEK! Come to virtual and in-person events in Denver and NYC: nathanschneider.info/govbook/

If you're in NYC and looking to start March out with some democracy, I've got two #GovernableSpaces events for you:

3/2, Brooklyn Public Library: bklynlibrary.org/calendar/gov... (feat. @rudyfraser.com!)
3/3, Prime Produce: lu.ma/pr63g964

Wherever you are, I want to introduce you to my new book, #GovernableSpaces. Please come to a special book-launch edition of the virtual Metagov Seminar on February 28: lu.ma/governable-s...

In-person events in Denver, NYC, and Toronto also: nathanschneider.info/books/govern...

On Twitch and in person, join me September 18 for a book talk on #governablespaces with the mighty Media Archaeology on campus at CU Boulder. Details here: https://calendar.colorado.edu/event/scholar-talk-governable-spaces-democratic-design-for-online-life-with-nathan-schneider

I think the #governablespaces book tour just ended:)

The recording is now available from my conversation yesterday with the brilliant technology scholar and activist Lilly Irani, hosted by no less than the Internet Archive—watch it here: https://archive.org/details/governable-spaces

Mostly #Listifications just let me know I'm getting blocked for posting political stuff here, which is fair. I love how we are able to create the #DigitalSpaces we want here :)

Which reminds me I meant to take a look at #GovernableSpaces :
