4. This Book Might Be Useless
1
1. Anonymous
In this section we’re breaking the first two rules of the Sekrit Code of
Anonymous <encyclopediadramatica.com/index.php?
title=Anonymous&oldid=1998440936#The_Sekrit_Code>. When others have
done this in the past it has brought down the wrath of this shadowy group
of anonymous individuals, causing public humiliation, hacked servers, and
other florid forms of chaos.
2
Anonymous is a collection of individuals that post anonymously on /b/
<img.4chan.org/b/>, a section of the image board 4chan.org. When you post
content on a typical message board, you are o en required to enter your
name. If you don’t, your entry is a ributed to “anonymous”. On /b/
everyone posts as “anonymous”. The collective actions of users identified
with the name anonymous aggregates into the collective identity
Anonymous.
3
Since then, Anonymous has mounted repeated electronic a acks on
Scientology websites, coupled with large scale protests outside of
Scientology centers across the world. Throughout this large scale,
coordinated, goal oriented collective action no one has emerged as the leader
to speak for the group. In fact, no one has spoken to the press at all, though
the press has reported extensively on the events. The only communiques
come in the form of anonymously posted videos and anonymous posts to
/b/ with instructions for when to protest, how to conduct yourself during
the protests, what to wear, etc.
Anonymous has operated under rules that are directly opposed to the rules
that have governed most successful large-scale collaborations. How then do
goals as broadly defined as “the lulz” become defined and articulated into a
goal like the intent to “systematically dismantle the Church of Scientology”?
How can an organization with no leaders articulate and execute such an
ambitious and “long, long campaign”? How can the enforced absence of any
structure as a governing principle result in such effective and coordinated
action?
4
Is this a possible collaborative future? If so, it is a terrifying one in which
anonymity and structurelessness permits total absolution of social
responsibility, terrorizing of innocent outsiders, and harassment of those
who provide public feedback, criticism and indeed even speak of the group
(“You do not talk about anonymous”). It is a P2P, collaborative, digitized
“Lord of the Flies” wherein boys’ games devolve into violence for fun. In the
perpetual techno-utopian dialectic, this is the feared dystopian future we
hope will be avoided, as we aim for the utopia that we can never actually
arrive at.

2. How this Book is Written
“Collaboration on a book is the ultimate unnatural act.”
—Tom Clancy
This book was first wri en over 5 days (Jan 18-22, 2010) during a Book
Sprint in Berlin. 7 people (5 writers, 1 programmer and 1 facilitator)
gathered to collaborate and produce a book in 5 days with no prior
preparation and with the only guiding light being the title ‘Collaborative
Futures’.
This book was revised, partially rewri en, and added to over three days in
June 2010 during a second book sprint in New York, NY, at the Eyebeam
Center for Art & Technology as part of the show Re:Group Beyond Models of
Consensus and presented in conjunction with Not An Alternative and
Upgrade NYC.

Glossary: Inconsistencies
In the e xe cution of code , the compute r could care le ss about
diffe re nt style s of code , which de sign pa e rns are use d, and whe re
the curly bracke ts go. But in the human world, inconsiste ncy
be come s information. While stylistically diffe re nt code can be
fla e ne d to a singular, e xe cutable voice , inconsiste nt human
communication is harde r to proce ss, “de code ”, and unrave l (Se e the
Can De sign By Commi e e Work chapte r).
Three new core members joined Mushon Zer-Aviv for the duration of the
project in New York: Astra Taylor, kanarinka, and sissu. Michael Mandiberg,
Mike Linksvayer, Alan Toner, Adam Hyde and Marta Peirano joined at
various times in person and online.

What is a Book Sprint?
“A book is a place where readers and writers meet”
—Bob Stein, Institute for the Future of the Book
The Book Sprint concept was devised by Tomas Krag. Tomas conceived of
book production as a collaborative activity involving substantial donations of
volunteer time.
During the first year of the Book Sprint concept FLOSS Manuals
experimented with several models of sprint. So far about 16 books have
been produced by FLOSS Manuals sprints, some of these were 5 day
sprints, but there have also been very successful 2 and 3 day events.
FLOSS Manuals has produced many fantastic manuals in 2-5 day Book
Sprints. The quality of these books is exceptional, for example Free So ware
Foundation Board Member Benjamin Mako Hill said of the 280 page
Introduction to the Command Line manual (produced in a two day Book
Sprint):
8
But Collaborative Futures is markedly different. The difference between the
Collaborative Futures and other Book Sprints is that this is the first sprint to
make a marked deviation from creating books which are primarily
procedural documentation. To ask 5 people who don’t know each other to
come to Berlin and write a speculative narrative in 5 days when all they have
is the title is a scary proposition. To clearly define the challenge we did no
discussion before everyone entered the room on day 1. Nothing discussed
over email, no background reading. Nothing.
Would we succeed? It was hard to consider this question because it was hard
to know what might constitute success. What constituted failure was clearer
—if those involved thought it was a waste of time at the end of the 5 days
this would be clear failure. All involved had discussed with the facilitator the
possibility that the project might fail (transmediale also discussed this with
the facilitator).
Additionally, as if this was not hard enough, we decided to use the alpha
version of a new collaborative platform ‘Booki’ <www.booki.cc>. One of the
Booki developers (there are two)—Aleksandar Erkalovic—joined the team in
Berlin to bug fix and extend the platform as we wrote.
We also had to develop new methodologies for this sprint. Try new things
out, test ideas and review their effectiveness. All in 5 days.

Thanks
Many thanks to Stephen Kovats who supported this enterprise with
conviction. Without Stephen’s commitment to the project it would not have
been possible.
Also thanks to Laleh Torabi for designing the first cover and to Galia Offri
for designing the second cover.

3. A Brief History of Collaboration
Whenever a communication medium lowers the costs of solving collective
action dilemmas, it becomes possible for more people to pool resources.
And “more people pooling resources in new ways” is the history of
civilization in…seven words.
Most of these stories are well known, so we decided to keep them short.
They are all very well documented, so these descriptions should be great
starting points for further research.
12
Anarchism in the Collaboratory
Anarchist theory provides some of the background for our framing of
autonomy and self organization.
13
Science to Software
Although the history of science is intertwined with that of states, religions,
commerce, institutions, indeed the rest of human history, it is on a grand
scale the canonical example of an open collaborative project, always
struggling for self-organization and autonomy against pressure from state,
religion, and market, in a quest for a common goal: to discover the truth.
Collaboration in science also occurs at all timescales and levels of coupling,
from deeply close and intentional collaboration between labs to
opportunistic collaboration across generations as well as problematic
collaborations been researchers and industry.
