Drawing on face-to-face and online ethnographic, survey and interview data with participants in distributed computing projects around the world, this book sheds light on the organizational and social structures of voluntary distributed computing projects, communities and teams, with close attention to questions of motivation in projects that offer little or no traditional forms of reward, either financially or in terms of participants' careers. With its focus on non-market, non-hierarchical cooperation, this book is a case study of networked individuals around the world who are part of a new social production of information.

Anne Holohan is Assistant Professor of Sociology at Trinity College Dublin, Ireland, and author of Networks of Democracy: Lessons from Kosovo for Afghanistan, Iraq and Beyond and Working Lives: The Irish in Britain.
