As I’ve been noting for a long while on this weblog, I’ve been working on a book for nearly two years now for a major publisher.
Darknet: Remixing the Future of Movies, Music and Television will detail the rise of the personal media revolution and the escalating conflict between entertainment companies and individuals using the power of digital technology.
I’m nearly done writing it, so we’re at the stage where it’s time to bring in “the former audience,” as Dan Gillmor puts it, and invite the blogosphere to participate in the book’s editing (before it makes its way to its final editor).
Ross Mayfield at Socialtext was kind enough to set me up with a wiki last week. Don’t be scared — wikis are very cool new collaborative workspaces that let people edit and contribute to a work in progress.
Check it out at the Darknet wiki. Much of the book has to do with participatory media, so I hope many of you will join me in this experiment in collaborative editing.
For those who prefer just to leave comments, I’ll also be posting the chapters to my new Darknet blog.

The darknet wiki appears to be down. It’s been more than 24 hours. Did you decide to stop or should I expect it to come back online soon?
