Everything is Miscellaneous

Description

David Weinberger's new book covers the breakdown of the established order of ordering. He explains how methods of categorization designed for physical objects fail when we can instead put things in multiple categoreis at once, and search them in many ways. This is no dry book on taxonomy, but has the insight and wit you'd expect from the author of The Cluetrain Manifesto, Small Pieces Loosely Joined, and a former writer for Woody Allen.

Fun to watch (there are plenty of visual and incidental jokes). Weinberger makes some good points. A starting point for a lot of interesting discussions.
