Charles Leadbeater In association with Science City Bristol Charles Leadbeater is one of Britain's leading creative thinkers - an authority on innovation and creativity, adviser to companies, cities and governments around the world on innovation strategy. His work has led the development of the creative economy and the new knowledge industries, being applicable to private companies, the public sector and the third sector. He is the author of several best selling and acclaimed books including Living on Thin Air, a guide to living and working in the new economy; Up the Down Escalator, an attack on the culture of public pessimism accompanying globalisation, and In Search of Work - one of the first books to predict the rise of more flexible and networked forms of employment. His new book, We-Think: the Power of Mass Creativity, itself the result of a new way of writing, where readers contributed material via the author's website - is the story of modern innovative participation, from Wikipedia, Youtube and Craigslist to new forms of scientific research and political campaigning. Leadbeater analyses not only these changes, which are reshaping the way we work, play and communicate, but also how they will affect us and how we can make the most of them. |
