Lawrence Lessig is a professor at Stanford Law School and founder of the school's centre for the Internet and Society. After clerking for Judge Richard Posner on the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals and for Justice Antonin Scalia on the U.S. Supreme Court, he served on the faculties of the University of Chicago, Yale Law School, and Harvard Law School before moving to Stanford. He represented the web site developer Eric Eldred before the Supreme Court in Ashcroft v. Eldred, a landmark case challenging the Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act. His other books are Free Culture and The Future of Ideas. Lessig also chairs the Creative Commons project and serves on the board of the Electronic Frontier Foundation. In 2002 he was named one of Scientific American's Top 50 Visionaries. He lives in Palo Alto, California.
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.
