Hi, lovely people!  Hope you all are having a great time and feeling
   gorgeous, yay!  :D
   Really respect Rufus and his work a lot.  I swear you will probably
   love his book and references!  :D
   And, well, if you eventually hate all of them, it's pretty OK, no
   problem...  The best thing about him is knowing he is completely open
   to _constructive_ feedbacks and _productive_ discussions about the Open
   Culture!  :D
   He is cute and patient, millions of times more polite than me, and
   zillions of times more intelligent too.  One of the good guys, trust
   me!  :)
   Wish you all kisses, hugs, books, smiles, music, and love!  <3
   Ceci, still alive and kicking...  and being kicked, ouch!  :P

   The Open Revolution: rewriting the rules of the information age








   Hi thackday,

   This is one-off email to share with you the release of my book, The
   Open Revolution: rewriting the rules of the information age.







   [2]Get the book on OpenRevolution.net »







   This book is about something bigger than tech itself. It’s about
   information, ownership and control in a digital age. It talks directly
   to a number of lives issues, ranging from access to medicines, to the
   future of work and privacy, digital monopolies and power in a connected
   world.









   Will the digital revolution give us digital dictatorships or digital
   democracies? Forget everything you think you know about the digital
   age. It’s not about privacy, surveillance, AI or blockchain—it’s about
   ownership. Because in a digital age, who owns information controls the
   future.

   Today’s “Closed” digital economy is the source of problems ranging from
   the power of a handful of tech monopolies to control how we think and
   vote, to unaffordable medicines, to growing inequality. The solution is
   not technological but political: a choice between making information
   Open, shared by all, or making it Closed, exclusively owned and
   controlled.

   By choosing Open we can make a more equitable, innovative and
   profitable future for all.
