In The future of ideas, Lawrence Lessig explains how the Internet revolution has produced a counterrevolution of potentially devastating power and effect. Creativity once flourished because the Net protected a commons on which 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.

"Lawrence Lessig, the reigning authority on intellectual property in the Internet age, spotlights the newest and possibly the most harmful culture war-a war waged against our children and others who create and consume art. Copyright laws have ceased to perform their original, beneficial role: protecting artists' creations while allowing them to build on previous creative works. In fact, our system now criminalises those very actions. By embracing "read-write culture," which allows its users to create art as readily as they consume it, we can ensure that creators get the support-artistic, commercial, and ethical-that they deserve and need. Indeed, we can already see glimmers of a new hybrid economy that combines the profit motives of traditional business with the "sharing economy" evident in such websites as Wikipedia and YouTube. The hybrid economy will become ever more prominent in every creative realm-from news to music-and Lessig shows how we can and should use it to benefit those who make and consume culture. Remix is an urgent, eloquent plea to end a war that harms our children and other intrepid creative users of new technologies. It also offers an inspiring vision of the post-war world where enormous opportunities await those who view art as a resource to be shared openly rather than a commodity to be hoarded."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

In this urgent wake-up call, Jonathan Zittrain shows how the Internet is on a path towards ruin - a victim of its own success - and how we have a chance to avoid this rapidly approaching future.

The Internet is so ubiquitous that we take it for granted. But it is surprisingly delicate, and under threat. Just what is at stake? Zittrain gives a fascinating history of the rise of the PC and Internet and reveals how their 'generativity', their capacity to welcome unfiltered contributions from anyone, has driven them. He argues that generativity is the greatest benefit to us as users of the Internet: we are free to connect with other people and to reap the rewards of unanticipated opportunities. Ever-increasing security threats, however - in the form of viruses, spyware and invasions of privacy - are now driving us to a new form of 'tethered' appliances, unable to be modified by anyone except their vendors, such as iPods, iPhones, Xboxes and TIVos, which are set to eclipse the PC.

Tethered appliances have unusual and worrisome features. They have already been used in remarkable but little-known ways: car GPS systems have been reconfigured to eavesdrop on their owners, and digital video recorders have been ordered to self-destruct in viewers' homes. New Web 2.0 platforms like Google mash-ups and Facebook are rightly celebrated - but their applications, even those written by outsiders, can similarly be monitored and controlled from a central source. 

Jonathan Zittrain argues that the generative Internet must be preserved for everybody. And he shows us how, through new technologies and behaviour, we can do it.
