Wikiworld - Book Review

Wikiworld is a very nice, clever story about a world where everything is coordinated through wikis - not strictly on the current sense, but more in the sense of a collaborative framework. Paul Di Filippo is an awesome author, and known for quirky and unusual stories. Wikiworld is no exception. There are plenty of wonderful made-up technologies - but that look like they could be reality soon. That includes an internet system based on aerostats, with augmented reality (which seems to be everywhere these days), subcutaneous RFID, and a wiki based democracy - including a Wikitusion in place of a constitution. Very much recommended.
