The Internet revolution has come. Some say it has gone. In The
Future of Ideas, Lawrence Lessig explains how the revolution has
produced a counterrevolution of potentially devastating power and
effect. Creativity once flourished because the Net protected a
commons on which widest range of innovators could experiment. But
now, manipulating the law for their own purposes, corporations have
established themselves as virtual gatekeepers of the Net while
Congress, in the pockets of media magnates, has rewritten copyright
and patent laws to stifle creativity and progress.
Lessig weaves the history of technology and its relevant laws to
make a lucid and accessible case to protect the sanctity of
intellectual freedom. He shows how the door to a future of ideas is
being shut just as technology is creating extraordinary
possibilities that have implications for all of us. Vital,
eloquent, judicious and forthright, The Future of Ideas is a call
to arms that we can ill afford to ignore.
