thanks for stating the obvious February 28, 2010 John Craine (Westwood, MA) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
It took an entire book to tell us this? Well at least the book was free.
Nothing New, Though There Could Have Been February 19, 2010 1point21gigawatts (Arlington, VA) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Chris Anderson appears to have written this book while sitting at a coffee shop with only the (free) web and a few popular books (e.g., Predictably Irrational) to rely on as research.
The book consists largely of Anderson's musings on the concept of free. I would have given this book only two stars (or even one) except that Anderson is the editor of Wired magazine and knows what he's talking about.
Free will transform your thinking February 11, 2010 WIJIM (Chicago, IL USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
"Free" is a very insightful exposition of an extremely powerful concept. Those who don't come to understand "Free" will be doomed to suffer in the wastelands of the old economy.
Free: The Future of a Radical Price February 11, 2010 Gary Avischious (Denver, CO) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is an amazing book! An economics lesson around the history of pricing and value. Chris Andersen challenges and changes the old business school models as well as sparks your imagination for what could be possible. Within a week of changing to free principles, my website has generated more income and exposure than it has in the last three years! A must read for anyone trying to sell anything, especially if it has to do with the internet!
Limited value for businesses that sell products or services February 10, 2010 Susan G. Trivers (McLean, VA) I struggle over decisions about making my intellectual property available at no cost so I was hoping for some insight from Anderson on this issue. He is compelling when writing about technology because it's true that bits and bytes are cheaper to produce even as they grow more abundant. But there were no answers for me and my fellow speakers, writers, designers and others who create intellectual property.
