Still need proof of the power of free? Or maybe you just want to be sure it's not going to cannibalize your opportunity to make a little money? Wired Editor Chris Andersen's book [Free: The Future of a Radical Price](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1401322905?ie=UTF8&tag=hypebot-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=1401322905&ref=hypebot.com)

comes out this week and the debate is certain to heat up.
