The Future of the Internet–And How to Stop It

zittraincover2Lawrence Lessig calls Jonathan Zittrain’s book “Absolutely required reading.” Cass Sunstein says it’s “Absolutely essential reading.” And Lawrence Tribe declares that it is “The most compelling book ever written on why a transformative technology’s trajectory threatens to stifle that technology’s greatest promise for society.”

The book is The Future of the Internet–And How to Stop It.  You can buy it on Amazon for $11.56, or, even better, you can download it for free from Zittrain’s web site. Visit the web site, and find the PDF here. Thanks for this tip goes to Tony Yet, who guest blogged TED to China: An Inside View earlier this summer.

    It’s possible that peak oil, the current economic crisis, and shortages for other resources (such as minerals and water) might also affect the use of the Internet.
