With Free Culture and Commons-Based Enterprise

First edition

by

Achieving Impossible Things is an introduction to free culture and commons-based enterprise. It is a book about finding low cost ways to collaborate and make big things happen using examples of major internet institutions. Started as a collection of articles from Free Software Magazine, this book explains how scattered individuals who individually do small things can make large things happen.

It is a truly inspiring book about how to start your own internet and free-culture projects.
