I would suggest Yochai Benkler's "The Wealth of Networks: How social production transforms markets and freedom".
That's always a good recommendation. I also recommend Reagle's "Good Faith Collaboration: The Culture of Wikipedia." It's not deeply philosophical or theoretical but it does capture the feeling of "screw the experts and the theories, we're just going to do this" attitude that seems important to understand as part of Wikipedia's culture. (I can't find the exact quote but somewhere in the book it mentions how Wikipedia is the kind of thing that could never work in theory, only in practice.) Kevin
