The Open Book
Road
M. Carpenter / Panos Pictures
Resulting from the first Open Knowledge Festival in 2012, this is a crowdsourced, multi-author publication built to contextualise the international movement for open knowledge. What are the aims of this movement’s pioneers, and how does its prioritisation of digital transparency, open data, government accountability and the Commons impact society? The Open Book will serve as a platform for discussion and a launching pad for new ideas about the future of a global movement in a time of rapid technological and societal progress.
