Blank Check

Just finished (and when I say just, I mean JUST) reading Chris Anderson's fascinating cover story "Free" in the latest WIRED. Well-researched and developed, he argues that the future of business is--literally--priceless.

But here's what got me REALLY thinking:

Considering this is essentially a front cover, multi-page ad for his upcoming book in '09, for full cred marks, I sure 'nuff hope Chris DIDN'T get paid for this piece.

And by the way Chris, two quick questions:

1--How much will said book actually cost us?
2--Jeez, wasn't Abbie Hoffman decades ahead of his time with "Steal This Book"?
