Code v2 http://codev2.cc/ |
Lawrence Lessig ( - ) http://www.lessig.org/ |
Lessig's "Code and Other Laws of Cyberspace" was published in 1999. The book quickly began to define a certain vocabulary for thinking about the regulation of cyberspace. More than any other social space, cyberspace would be controlled or not depending upon the architecture, or "code," of that space. And that meant regulators, and those seeking to protect cyberspace from at least some forms of regulation, needed to focus not just upon the work of legislators, but also the work of technologists.
Code v2 updates the original work. It is not, as Lessig writes in the preface, a "new work." Written in part collectively, through a Wiki hosted by JotSpot, the aim of the update was to recast the argument in the current context, and to clarify the argument where necessary.

Blind Shrike |
Richard Kadrey ( - ) |
"The book is titled Blind Shrike. It's not a rotten book, I think. In fact, it's a pretty traditional fantasy quest, just one that, to me, makes sense in George W. Bush's America. The hero of the story is on a quest for his own lost ignorance and innocence. He really doesn't want to know too much because, as many of us have learned, too much information is a soul-sucking pain in the ass. In the book you'll also find magic and monsters, angels and demons, magical swords and forbidden books. And blimps. Every fantasy novel should have at least one blimp." -- Richard Kadrey

A Doll's House |
Henrik Ibsen (1828 - 1906) |
Written in 1879, A Doll's House is scathingly critical of the traditional gender roles in marriage in those times. In the story, a stifled Nora learns that her husband is not actually the noble person she imagined and decides to leave him, her children and her "Doll House". Shocking to readers when first published. Critically acclaimed still. |
