McKenzie Wark is a professor of cultural and media studies at the New School in New York. He chose to post the draft of his upcoming book, GAM3R 7H30RY, under a CC license.

GAM3R 7H30RY is described as an experimental networked book, and allows readers to post feedback online using windows that are arranged like note cards on the page. We contacted Wark to discuss this project, his choice of licensing, and his thoughts on the future of print publishing.
