(展开全部) 　　The rise of the "information society" offers not only considerable peril but also great promise. Beset from all sides by a never-ending barrage of media, how can we ensure that the most accurate information emerges and is heeded? In this book, Cass R. Sunstein develops a deeply optimistic
　　understanding of the human potential to pool information, and to use that knowledge to improve our lives. In an age of information overload, it is easy to fall back on our own prejudices and insulate ourselves with comforting opinions that reaffirm our core beliefs. Crowds quickly become mobs. The
　　justification for the Iraq war, the collapse of Enron, the explosion of the space shuttle Columbia-all of these resulted from decisions made by leaders and groups trapped in "information cocoons," shielded from information at odds with their preconceptions. How can leaders and ordinary people
　　challenge insular decisionmaking and gain access to the sum of human knowledge? Stunning new ways to share and aggregate information, many Internet-based, are helping companies, schools, governments, and individuals not only to acquire, but also to create, ever-growing bodies of accurate knowledge.
　　Through a ceaseless flurry of self-correcting exchanges, wikis, covering everything from politics and business plans to sports and science fiction subcultures, amass-and refine-information. Open-source software enables large numbers of people to participate in technological development. Prediction
　　markets aggregate information in a way that allows companies, ranging from computer manufacturers to Hollywood studios, to make better decisions about product launches and office openings. Sunstein shows how people can assimilate aggregated information without succumbing to the dangers of the herd
　　mentality--and when and why the new aggregation techniques are so astoundingly accurate. In a world where opinion and anecdote increasingly compete on equal footing with hard evidence, the on-line effort of many minds coming together might well provide the best path to infotopia.

三千臭皮匠一个诸葛亮：集体能否产生智慧？
南桥

“三个臭皮匠，抵得上一个诸葛亮。”众人的智慧，就一定胜过个人的智慧吗？东吴的孙权帐下，高人策士满堂，哪个比臭皮匠差？诸葛亮孤身一人，却舌战群儒，以三寸不烂之舌，说得东吴联刘抗曹。这是怎么回事？假如孙权有三个信息来源，一是3000包括臭皮匠在内的普通人的集体选择，一是几十谋士的讨论结果，一个是诸葛亮一人的说法，那...... (6回应)

三个臭皮匠顶个诸葛亮的现代悖论
Miao(签名太敏感，总是被清理。)

读这本书的时候总有一种感觉就是，“这里的理论我都早就想过啊！” 不过自己跟这位世界顶尖社会学家、法学家的区别就在于，人家会动脑并花费时间把自己的各种思绪整理成一个理论体系，上升到哲学高度，而我只会任由思想引领着我，上天入地，胡思乱想，尽管想的是关于社会与政治的严肃问题。还是说回书本身吧，我最感兴趣的一点是： ......
