"One of the more interesting trends to emerge lately is the practice of book authors inviting strangers to collectively edit their manuscripts online before they are published. Mercury News columnist Dan Gillmor posted chapters of his upcoming book on his blog and invited reader feedback. East Bay writer J.D. Lasica went a step further recently and created a Web site (www.darknet.com) where anyone can edit the chapters of his new book, Darknet: Remixing the Future of Movies, Music & Television,'' reports Michael Bazeley in the Mercury News.
"I just think this is where our culture is headed,'' Lasica said, "where things are more collaborative.''
