9 days to go: 15,000 euros reached! - A new turn with Geert Lovink
We made the 15.000, so there will be an audiobook version/podcast for certain and under the same free license as the book. \o/
But we still have 9 days to go and I have a great idea for a further stretched goal: Together with the famous Internet theorist Geert Lovink, I'd like to publish a decoupling of the main theses of the book in English language. Of course, with the same license as the book and the audio book: the WTFPDL. The essay will be approximately 20,000 words strong and available to all for free - both: in print, and in all major eBook formats.
The book will be published in the series »network notebooks« of the Institute of network cultures. There will be a pad of 4-5 thousand pieces printed. For more information see: http://networkcultures.org/wpmu/portal/publications/
5000 aditional euros are needed for the production, translation and the english proofreading (as you may see on this text, a professional translation is much needed …). If you've already bought a book you will get "The New Game" on top when we reach the 20,000 euro.
Geert Lovink provides the legendary mailing list »nettime-l« since 1995 and is a founding director of media theory »Institute of network cultures (INC)«, based at the Hogeschool van Amsterdam. He is one of the earliest and most important network theorists in Europe. Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geert_Lovink
20,000 euros. Can we do that in the 9 days? That would be great!
