Product Description

There's a belief that cyberspace cannot be regulated - that is, its very essence is immune from the government's control. This book presents an argument that this belief is wrong. It shows that the nature of cyberspace is unregulable as cyberspace has no nature. It only has code - the software and hardware that makes cyberspace what it is.

Review
"Lawrence Lessig is a James Madison of our time, crafting the lineaments of a well-tempered cyberspace. This book is a primer of 'running code' for digital civilization. Like Madison, Lessig is a model of balance, judgement, ingenuity and persuasive argument." -- Stewart Brand
