I'm not sure the authors of this book about "how mass collaboration changes everything" have ever heard of Nomic, but they have a cute web address, a remarkably familiar cover image and font-choice, and are looking for better title suggestions.
Perhaps someone should send them cover-image suggestions as well. (Or perhaps, as they seem to have developed a 3D model of a suitable globe, there could be an exchange -- license to use that cover for a 3D model of the real WP logo... which would be handy.)
