""CODE" is a mature and sophisticated exploration of the most
important issues related to creativity in the digital age. The
broad mix of scholars, offering extraordinarily insightful
perspectives, makes this collection essential for understanding
this critically important set of questions."--Lawrence Lessig,
Stanford Law School, author of "Free Culture"
"We hear much these days of the 'knowledge society.' The usual
implication of the phrase is that knowledge is something to be
owned. Yet it is well known, indeed obvious, that creativity and
innovation happen only when nurtured by large areas of common
knowledge. The contributors to this book document the current
erosion of the commons, and show ways to move forward by
reconciling conflicting demands in a collaborative manner.
Profound, thoughtful, pragmatic, and very readable, the articles
range from historical perspective to practical advice, bringing
fresh air to discussions around intellectual property and revealing
how contingent are the 'norms' of today. They give answers and hope
to those who sense that something is amiss with the system but are
unsure about the alternatives."--John Sulston, The Wellcome Trust
Sanger Institute, Cambridge, UK, Nobel Laureate in Physiology or
Medicine (2002)
