What Global Business Leaders Are Saying About Living Networks
“I’m not sure that even Ross Dawson realizes how radical — and how likely — his vision of the future is. Ideas that spread win, and organizations that spawn them will be in charge.”
— Seth Godin, author, Unleashing the Ideavirus, the #1 selling e-book in history

— Don Tapscott, co-author, Wikinomics
“Ross Dawson argues persuasively that leading economies are driven by the flow of information and ideas. The ideas in his own book can position any individual or company at the center of that flow. It’s a fast read, fun and full of examples.”
