"An early warning of the mechanisms of control that would vie to strangle the internet in the 21st century. written when the naive were saying the 'net would route around censorship. A seminal text."
"While this is the first of Lessig's books I've read, it seems to function as an introduction to the scope of his body of work. For that reason, and perhaps because the first edition was published in 1999, it is at times rather pedagogic, especially for someone who has grown up with the internet. His style is lucid and readable, although I think 15-20% of the text is spent talking about the arguments he is going to make, as opposed to simply making them. Still, a work of formidable intellectual vision that draws many insights about cyberspace that should have been obvious but weren't. If every member of Congress read this book, we would be much better off."
