Tyler and Alex have a set of textbooks out (or nearly so).
Tyler’s “Create Your Own Economy“:
1. The Future of Thinking Differently
2. Hidden Creativity
3. Why Modern Culture is Like Marriage, in all its Glory
4. IM, Cell Phones, and Facebook [this chapter discusses Twitter as well]
5. The Buddha as Savior and the Professor as Shaman
6. The New Economy of Stories
7. Heroes
8. Beauty isn’t What You Think
9. Autistic Politics
10. The Future of the Universe
Amit Varma’s “My Friend Sancho”
James Tooley’s “The Beautiful Tree”
David Kilcullen’s “The Accidental Guerilla”
Various reasons why I haven’t read any of them yet, most notably Loren Graham’s “The Ghost of the Executed Engineer“.
