There's a new book out (which has also been published as a weblog) called Extreme Democracy. Contributors include Howard Rheingold, Steven Johnson, Joi Ito and others. Say the editors: "The basic unit of organization in an extreme democracy is the activist, a citizen engaged with an issue of concern about which they are willing to invest their time and effort to evolve relevant policy, whether at the local, state, national or international level." Steven's piece is the only one I've read so far but includes some interesting reflections on what happened to the Dean campaign in the US.
