Kevin Kelly’s Cool Tools re-imagines the Whole Earth Catalog, of which he was an editor and publisher, for the Internet era: crowdsourced, crowdmade, crowdmanaged. He’s been on the Internet for as long as there’s been an Internet for all us to get on. He was part of the founding team of Wired magazine, and the author of many inspiring books and essays about technological change and self-empowerment, including “1,000 True Fans.” We talk about collaboration, old and new technology, and making books.
We had a full transcript of this interview made, which also has sources linked in for further reading.
