George Siemens is [about to release a book](http://www.elearnspace.org/blog/archives/002588.html):  

>  
>  
> [Knowing Knowledge](http://www.knowingknowledge.com/) is an exploration of knowledge - what it is, how it is changing, and what it means to our organizations and society. Knowing Knowledge will be available for purchase (or download) by mid-September 2006.

There’s [a blog for the book](http://www.knowingknowledge.com/blog/index.php), and George intends to turn it into a kind of living document by [placing it in a wiki](http://knowingknowledge.com/2006/08/product%5Fand%5Fprocess.php).

*The Internet is People* was originally conceived as a book, and I still intend some of the ideas posted here to form the basis of a publication. It’s very interesting to see how web-orientated authors cope with the print medium, and George’s wiki move is a bold one. He’s not alone: Cory Doctorow has [released all of his novels as free downloads](http://www.craphound.com/index.php?cat=5) to [great success](http://www.greatwriting.co.uk/content/view/224/), for example.
