The Web in General

IA begins with a deep understanding of the meaning of the Web—its nature and how users perceive and use it. These are highly regarded examinations of the cyberworld.

The Cluetrain Manifesto: The End of Business as Usual.
Rick Levine, Christopher Locke, Doc Searls, David Weinberger. The book that started it all—a reexamination of how business does business in light of the emergence of the Web. Wild-eyed, visionary and often impractical, the Cluetrain is required reading for anyone who earns a living from the Web. Check out its origin at www.cluetrain.com.

Small Pieces Loosely Joined: A Unified Theory of the Web.
David Weinberger. A marvelous examination of the nature of the Web that will stretch your mind and soul. Not as heavy as the title may sound, Weinberger examines how the Web reflects and reveals much about what it means to be human. For IAs, it provides great insights into how people experience and perceive the Web.
