Get the Web: A Book of the Best Foundational Essays About the Web
My friend and I are constantly recommending the same foundational essays--"1000 True Fans", "The Next Economy of Ideas" and so forth--to clients, colleagues, students and so forth. We thought it would be wise to compile these into a book--a toolkit for getting the web. Assuming we can secure author permissions, we'll publish an ebook and maybe a hardcopy version, donating any profits to the EFF. For now, we're looking for recommendations for your favorite essays about the web.

Ummm Clay Shirky might be a little too pop for you, but he's the guy who got me interested in this stuff. This one is pretty good.
