Clay Shirky
Clay Shirky“In the academy, we lecture other people every day about learning from history. Now its our turn, and the risk is that we’ll be the last to know that the world has changed, because we can’t imagine””really cannot imagine””that story we tell ourselves about ourselves could start to fail. Even when it’s true. Especially when it’s true.”
– Clay Shirky, 2012
