Berkman Center Events & Webcasts

Video from John Clippinger’s talk this past Thursday on his new book, A Crowd of One: The Future of Individual Identity, has been posted.

David Weinberger has a nice summary on the talk and posted a summarized transcript of the question and answer session:

In re-imagining identity as the virtual and real worlds become more intertwingled, people will want control over their identities. They’ll want to have a persistent identity. They’ll want multiple identities, the ability to take their identity info in and out of different virtual worlds. They’ll want a range of degrees of identification, from anonymity to authenticated anonymity to complete disclosure. And they’ll want to develop peer networks of trust and authentication.

Berkman Center founder and Harvard Law Professor Charlie Nesson also attended the book party, and made some remarks on his blog:
