By John Hagel III, John Seely Brown, and Lang Davison
In the last section of this book, "Further Reading," the authors cite several books I've reviewed on this blog: books by Benkler, Florida, Malone, and Shirky. Take all of these books. Add the complete works of Alvin Toffler, the later texts of Drucker, Gladwell's Tipping Point, and maybe a few pages from Senge. You have some Charlene Li or some Don Tapscott? Bring that too. Put those texts into an immense blender, sprinkle some contemporary examples from BoingBoing, and puree for 7-10 minutes. The slurry that results will look a lot like The Power of Pull. It goes down easily, but there's not much texture.
I'm sure this book makes some unique contribution that synthesizes the above books, but for the life of me, I couldn't find it.
