Mark Pesce recently posted, about three hours ago, a proposal for a new book about hyper : connectivity, intelligence, and empowerment.

To start you off, here’s an excerpt 

In the developed world, mobile phones are completely ubiquitous: only toddlers, the very oldest seniors, and technophobes have resisted their allure. Parents give their children mobiles with global satellite tracking features, so they can search the web to find out where their kids are – and snoop into where they’ve been. Adults use mobile telephones to smooth the frictions of social life: in the age of the mobile, one can phone ahead. No one is late anymore, just delayed. Your productive business life can follow you anywhere – into bed, on vacation, even into the middle of an argument. We enjoy – and suffer through – a life of seamless connectivity.

This is new, and it is very important.

Since the initial dot-com boom, social and mobile networks have become increasingly more prevalent at quite a rapid pace.  Mark’s book proposal (and ideas in general) are anthropological of a nearing possible and almost present future.
