Description

Rare signed book: Evolving Collective Intelligence by Valerie Landau and Eileen Clegg. Limited BETA edition, numbered 2/200. Self published in 2008. Softcover, 6 x 8.75, 88 pages. Signed on the title page in black ink, "Doug E., 4 Dec. 08." In fine condition.

Valerie Landau and Eileen Clegg worked with Engelbart for six years to write two books. Only 200 copies of the first book, Evolving Collective Intelligence, were distributed to the community for feedback at the 2008 Program for the Future Conference at The Tech Museum in San Jose, California. The second book, a limited edition of The Engelbart Hypothesis: Dialogs with Douglas Engelbart, was published after incorporating feedback.

Doug Engelbart coined the term Collective IQ as a measure of how well people can work together on important challenges - how quickly and intelligently they can anticipate or respond to a situation, leveraging their collective perception, memory, insight, vision, planning, reasoning, foresight, and experience into applicable knowledge. Collective IQ is ultimately a measure of effectiveness.
