Conspiracy of the Rich: A Collective Intelligence Book

January 30th, 2009

As we reported in previous posts, Robert Kiyosaki has started writing his next book. It’s called Conspiracy of the Rich. What’s really interesting about this book is that he is leveraging off of the millions of people who have read his other books, and allowing them to help him write this one.

Robert has decided to post the book online for free, one chapter at a time. So far, he has only posted the introduction to the new book. In each few pages, he asks a question and poses a topic for discussion. This allows the reader to answer the questions and provide their own viewpoints. The interesting thing is that he has barely started, but has already collected over 1,000 posts. All in just a few weeks.

As part of the registration process, the reader agrees that his comments can become part of the future book. This allows Robert to incorporate other people’s comments and ideas into the final book. Its a smart strategy because it allows him to tailor the book to his audience’s preferences. How cool is that.

The interesting thing about this project is that he’s actually incorporating Collective Intelligence. What is Collective Intelligence? It’s the concept that when you get a bunch of people together they create a collective consciousness, and can solve problems that individuals could not solve by themselves. It’s also known as crowdsourcing.

Millions of people love Robert Kiyosaki. And if you browse the Internet, you can find many more who love to talk trash about him. But one thing is for certain. His approach to writing his new book is definitely interesting.

    I have read this book. Robert Kiyosaki wrote this down. And it’s a great information here about sharing the audience’s preferences. Great idea, really.
