<br/><br/>Open politics -- Sorting collaboration out -- The governance of forceful statements : from ad-hocracy to ex corpore -- Organizational exit and the regime of computation -- Controversy in action. 
<br/><br/> Few virtues are as celebrated in contemporary culture as openness. But what does openness mean, and what would a political theory of openness look like? The author uses Wikipedia, the most prominent product of open organization, to analyze the theory and politics of openness in practice - and to break its spell.
