My recent attendance at Findhorn's New Story Summit, combined with my reading of two books, Micah Sifry's The Big Disconnect: Why the Internet Hasn't Transformed Politics (Yet) and Darrell West's Billionaires: Reflections on the Upper Crust, have come together to inspire a new book that seeks to unify the tribes with open source tools and aggregated money from four pots — UN SDG, Black Sheep Bilionaires, CEOs with angst, and USG. This is my winter project. North Atlantic Books, publisher of The Open Source Everything Manifesto: Transparency, Truth, and Trust, is on board contingent of course on my actually producing a useful book for their editor to work with — I cannot say enough good things about the editor that cut OSE in half and reduced all words by one syllable. Below is an early outline. I would be deeply grateful if you cared to read over the outline and give me feedback. At this point I am just asking two questions: 01 Do the phrases resonate? Should any of them be modified? 02 What am I missing — this is supposed to be a guide that brings us together for action rooted in spirituality, an end to lip service and me me me my hashtag or none fauz activism. What would you be looking for in such a book? Thank you for anything that might occur to you. I am most optimistic about the future. Blessings to you all, Robert
