Chapter 2. The universe of online virtual worlds -- Chapter 3. Principles of virtual manufacturing -- Chapter 4. Modes of work-related communication -- Chapter 5. Socio-economic structure and dynamics -- Chapter 6. Artificial intelligence in the human-technology system -- Chapter 7 Large-scale technical and cultural variation.
Abstract: This book deeply explores 30 of these production-capable social media, based on thousands of hours of observation and extensive collection of statistical data, extracting hypotheses that may generalize to the real-world distributed manufacturing of the near future. This book begins with an overview of this universe of online virtual worlds then demonstrates the principles of virtual manufacturing, modes of work-related communication, socio-economic structures and dynamics, and the function of artificial intelligence in these human-technology systems. It concludes with consideration of the large-scale technical and cultural variation illustrated both by individual examples and by the rather large industry in which they have long been successful.
