Ours to Hack and to Own

This book presents a broad and diverse range of ideas relating to 'platform cooperativism', which is essentially cooperative models of business using contemporary digital technology. There are forty essays by contributors including seasoned experts in technology criticism (Yochai Benkler, Saskia Sassen, Rachel O'Dwyer) and experts in law, business or technologies relating to cooperatives (Janelle Orsi, Arun Sundararajan, Miriam A. Cherry). The diversity does make the reading of the book a little clunky, but the richness of the ideas contained makes up for this, and the result is a great influencing guidebook for how platforms can potentially be made, with a particular emphasis on technology.

Also credit to the editors for a book with so many contributors being (I think completely) free from typos!

A good reference book for anyone interested in these areas.
