[edit] Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

The fictional electronic book that lent its name to the novel is a handheld device containing an encyclopedia (similar to wikipedia) which is edited by passing strangers (similar to wikipedia):

"He also started to develop and explore the role of the editorial lunch-break which was subsequently to play such a crucial part in the Guide's history, since it meant that most of the actual work got done by any passing stranger who happened to wander into the empty offices on an afternoon and saw something worth doing."
