New book: Essays on Free Knowledge

Update: Available in paperback on Amazon – as an audiobook read by the author

I published my first book this morning. The current cost is $9.95. It is a 270-page ebook, first published on Gumroad, where I’ll get a higher percentage.

Buy via the embedded ad below, and after that, I’ll have a few notes for my regular blog readers.

I first had the idea of making a collection like this over ten years ago. The fact that Wikipedia is going to have its 20th anniversary this coming January means the book should have a better audience than it would otherwise.

    I created the first available online encyclopedia, first announced and offered at Jerry Milden’s Northeast Computer Show in October, 1981.
    Wikipedia is amazing, a more-than-worthy successor to my Kussmaul Encyclopedia (which morphed into the Delphi social network, sold to Rupert Murdoch’s News America Corp. in 1993.)
    The stories suggesting that Wikipedia’s management is straying from the ideal of objectivity are really troubling. If there’s anything I can do to help to reverse that trend, please let me know.

    As I read, I’d like to follow you on your blog. Can you point me to it.

    Can you tell me more about the knowledge standards.

    What cybersecurity issues have you thought about regarding knowledge standards?

      If you mean the Knowledge Standards Foundation blog, it’s at encyclosphere.org. You’re writing on my personal blog, larrysanger.org.

      Please go to encyclosphere.org for more information about the KSF’s knowledge standards in progress, and join us on Slack or the forum to ask the question about cybersecurity; it’s better discussed there.
