*  ''Union Democracy: The Inside Politics of the International Typographical Union'' by Seymour Martin Lipset, Martin Trow & James Coleman — I loved this book and I understand its a classic, but it could be somewhat dated or far-afield. — Nate; I think Charlie's work on turnover makes this relevant. —<b>[[User:Benjamin Mako Hill|<font color="#C40099">m</font><font color="#600099">a</font><font color="#2D0399">k</font><font color="#362365">o</font>]][[User_talk:Benjamin Mako Hill|<font color="#000000">๛</font>]]</b>) I think it sounds interesting [[User:Kaylea|Kaylea]] ([[User talk:Kaylea|talk]]) 01:10, 24 June 2022 (CEST)
* ''Mutual Aid'' by Kropotkin — I also love this book, but it is definitely dated and not that useful unless you are an ecology nerd and/or anarchist —Nate
* ''Should you believe Wikipedia?'' (brand new book) by Amy Bruckman — I think we should prioritize classics but this is one that I think I will have to read this summer so I'd throw it into the mix. —<b>[[User:Benjamin Mako Hill|<font color="#C40099">m</font><font color="#600099">a</font><font color="#2D0399">k</font><font color="#362365">o</font>]][[User_talk:Benjamin Mako Hill|<font color="#000000">๛</font>]]</b>
* ''Governing the Commons'' by Elinor Ostrom — Do this only if/when a large majority of new folks can make it. —<b>[[User:Benjamin Mako Hill|<font color="#C40099">m</font><font color="#600099">a</font><font color="#2D0399">k</font><font color="#362365">o</font>]][[User_talk:Benjamin Mako Hill|<font color="#000000">๛</font>]]</b> 04:04, 9 June 2022 (CEST) +1 mdb
* ''Wealth of Networks'' or perhaps a few articles by Yochai Benkler — Do this only if/when a large majority of new folks can make it. —<b>[[User:Benjamin Mako Hill|<font color="#C40099">m</font><font color="#600099">a</font><font color="#2D0399">k</font><font color="#362365">o</font>]][[User_talk:Benjamin Mako Hill|<font color="#000000">๛</font>]]</b> 04:04, 9 June 2022 (CEST) +1 Floor
* ''Dividing the Waters'' by William Blomquist — It's about groundwater governance in Southern California by a student of Ostrom. I'm interested in this because it's about the emergence of new institutions but it's only worth doing if a bunch of others are willing to talk to me about this. —<b>[[User:Benjamin Mako Hill|<font color="#C40099">m</font><font color="#600099">a</font><font color="#2D0399">k</font><font color="#362365">o</font>]][[User_talk:Benjamin Mako Hill|<font color="#000000">๛</font>]]</b> I'm interested in this one. —[[User:Groceryheist|Groceryheist]] ([[User talk:Groceryheist|talk]]) 21:11, 14 June 2022 (CEST) +1 sohw I'm interested [[User:Kaylea|Kaylea]] ([[User talk:Kaylea|talk]]) 01:10, 24 June 2022 (CEST)
* ''[https://press.princeton.edu/books/hardcover/9780691195636/creating-a-constitution Creating a Constitution]'' by Federica Caraguti — Similar story to Blomquist exist it's about ancient Athens! Federica is beginning to do work in our space though so she seems to think there are connections. —<b>[[User:Benjamin Mako Hill|<font color="#C40099">m</font><font color="#600099">a</font><font color="#2D0399">k</font><font color="#362365">o</font>]][[User_talk:Benjamin Mako Hill|<font color="#000000">๛</font>]]</b>
* ''The Sciences of the Artificial'' by Herbert Simon. — "best known for concepts of bounded rationality and satisficing" [[User:Kaylea|Kaylea]] ([[User talk:Kaylea|talk]]) 15:48, 8 January 2020 (EST); Moved from 2020 since this does feel something we could benefit from reading. —<b>[[User:Benjamin Mako Hill|<font color="#C40099">m</font><font color="#600099">a</font><font color="#2D0399">k</font><font color="#362365">o</font>]][[User_talk:Benjamin Mako Hill|<font color="#000000">๛</font>]]</b> I'm interested [[User:Groceryheist|Groceryheist]] ([[User talk:Groceryheist|talk]]) 06:58, 16 June 2022 (CEST)  +1 mdb
* ''Conversational Firm'' by Cat Turco — I know Aaron and I have both read this book and loved it and I think more people in communication should be reading this book. —<b>[[User:Benjamin Mako Hill|<font color="#C40099">m</font><font color="#600099">a</font><font color="#2D0399">k</font><font color="#362365">o</font>]][[User_talk:Benjamin Mako Hill|<font color="#000000">๛</font>]]</b> I'm interested —[[User:Groceryheist|Groceryheist]] ([[User talk:Groceryheist|talk]]) 21:11, 14 June 2022 (CEST) +1 sohw -- I'm interested [[User:Kaylea|Kaylea]] ([[User talk:Kaylea|talk]]) 01:10, 24 June 2022 (CEST)
* ''The Duality of Technology: Rethinking the Concept of Technology in Organizations'' by Wanda Orlikowski — I've not read the book but I've read a bunch of other other work and think this might be worth it. It might be helpful to read Giddens first she I know she relies heavily on the concept of structuration. —<b>[[User:Benjamin Mako Hill|<font color="#C40099">m</font><font color="#600099">a</font><font color="#2D0399">k</font><font color="#362365">o</font>]][[User_talk:Benjamin Mako Hill|<font color="#000000">๛</font>]]</b> +1 sohw +1 mdb I'm interested [[User:Kaylea|Kaylea]] ([[User talk:Kaylea|talk]]) 01:10, 24 June 2022 (CEST)
* ''[https://doi.org/10.1017/CBO9780511734892 Social Emergence: Societies as Complex Systems]'' by R. Keith Sawyer -- I started this and it seems like a nice argument about the way that social systems act as complex systems and how researchers can study social phenomena as complex systems. --[[User:Jdfoote|Jdfoote]] ([[User talk:Jdfoote|talk]]) 18:43, 14 June 2022 (CEST) I'm interested [[User:Kaylea|Kaylea]] ([[User talk:Kaylea|talk]]) 01:10, 24 June 2022 (CEST)
* '''Exhilation''' by Ted Chiang — This was our winter holiday gift book! I can also send around a soft copy. —<b>[[User:Benjamin Mako Hill|<font color="#C40099">m</font><font color="#600099">a</font><font color="#2D0399">k</font><font color="#362365">o</font>]][[User_talk:Benjamin Mako Hill|<font color="#000000">๛</font>]]</b>
* '''[https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/discriminating-data Discriminating Data]''' by Wendy Hui Kyong Chun. Polarization is a goal of machine learning and discrimination is built into how we use and process data. I am planning on reading this anyway this summer. [[User:Mollydb]] +1 floor
* "Ghost Work" by Mary Gray + Siddharth Suri. I'm planning to reread this anyway this summer and would love to be held accountable + chat about it. I know a bunch of folks have also read it already, so might be low-barrier --Floor.
* ''TVA and the Grass Roots: A Study of Politics and Organization'' by Philip Selznick. Folks at ICA were talking about this as a must-read classic. I'm just getting started reading it. Pros so far: seems like an interesting exploration of anti-democratic tendencies creeping into intentionally/initially democratic "grass roots" institutions. Maybe there will be useful parallels to CBPP foundations? Has an ecology vibe. Has an infrastructure vibe. Has a governance vibe. Cons: so far it's a bit dry, or at least not scintillating. Is it really so classic as I was led to believe? Also, feeds my orgcomm habit which may be unhealthy. [[User:Kaylea|Kaylea]] ([[User talk:Kaylea|talk]]) 01:10, 24 June 2022 (CEST)
