Synopsis of Tribes

The book Tribes is about groups of people who are connected to one another by a common interest. They used to have to be in a certain area within distance of each other, but now with the Internet it does not matter where you are. In this book they talk about how we are looking for people to lead us. They tell us that with the Internet we can post our thoughts and opinions anywhere at anytime. The author talks about how with one little push we can improve our society. He talks about how if you ignore the opportunity to join a tribe, you will turn into a "sheep walker". This means you try and protect the "status quo" at all costs. They never ask if their obedience is doing them or their group any good. I think this book really makes you think about the things that you are offered in life.
