I've found it helpful to pair Manovich with Tara McPherson's "Why are the Digital Humanities So White or Thinking the History of Race and Computation <https://dhdebates.gc.cuny.edu/read/untitled-88c11800-9446-469b-a3be-3fdb36bfbd1e/section/20df8acd-9ab9-4f35-8a5d-e91aa5f4a0ea>" to get students thinking about both formal and social properties of tech (and how these things intertwine) from the get go. As far as collective intelligence goes, this probably isn't as new as you're looking for, but I use Jenkins' Convergence Culture to explain the difference between collective intelligence and the wisdom of the crowd.
