Connected Intelligence: The Arrival of the Web Society
In Connected Intelligence, Derrick de Kerckhove speculates on the consequences of massive global networking--and what might happen if it reaches a critical mass of "connected intelligence." Will the sum total of people's connected intelligence be vastly more intelligent than any one person's intelligence could hope to be? This startling proposition points directly to the possibility that we are undergoing one of the greatest leaps in the evolution of our species. Connected intelligence may be the next step in the evolution of human intelligence.

Published in 1997, it is interesting to see what a futurist gets right and what they get wrong. The musing on videoconferencing and teleprescence was good. Books and literacy, not so much.
It was good to go back and re-read this with what has happened. There are still relevant questions and exercises to get at the future. I remember being skeptical of some of the pronouncements then. I wish I could say which ones I looked askance at. I would be lying if I said I did.
Still worth a read.
