rmichno's review against another edition
3.0
Easy read, full of a wide variety of topics related to freelancing - including a history of freelancing and some speculation on how freelancing will impact society in the future.
The ideas were interesting and easy to understand but the book might have suffered by trying to be TOO complete in what it covered. It could have easily dropped a few chapters that seemed to be repeating the same ideas the author already covered.
Overall a pretty good book but one that I found myself skimming at times.

Lots of values in here that resonate with me. The book is quite dry, and seems a little dated (2001) -- it would be interesting to see newer numbers to see how these trends progressed, especially in light of services like AWS and Stripe that make it easier than ever to independently serve your stuff to the world. Feels like a bit of a companion to The Cluetrain Manifesto.
