3. Us Now is a documentary lm project about the power of mass
collaboration, government and the Internet... It is a description
of a world on the cusp of the greatest social change since the
invention of the printing press... Us Now tells the stories of
online networks that are challenging the existing notion of
hierarchy. Us Now takes a look at how the internet could allow us
to do away with politicians and run the government ourselves. It
tells the stories of the online networks whose radical
self-organising structures threaten to change the fabric of
government for ever.
