Free: The Future of a Radical Price is the second book written by Chris Anderson, editor-in-chief of Wired magazine.
It examines the rise of pricing models which give products and services to customers for free, often as a strategy for attracting users and up-selling some of them to a premium level.
That class of model has become widely referred to as "freemium" and has become very popular for a variety of digital products and services.
