It seemed fitting, then, to invite Declan McCullagh to help re-assess what Lessig and others were predicting at the time. In 2009, Code turns ten years old, and it is just as relevant as ever. His provocative final chapter was entitled “What Declan Doesn’t Get” it called out journalist Declan McCullagh as just the type of over-optimistic cyberlibertarian who didn’t appreciate these growing threats. He warned that without carefully constructed regulations, corporate and other special interests stood to capture the online experience - with results that would be anything but free. In the original Code, Lessig was at pains to distance himself from cyberlibertarians although he championed a relatively permissive regulatory regime for the Internet, Lessig insisted on the importance of politics in shaping this new area of human action. (We’d be remiss if we failed to point out that Lessig helped pioneer the very idea of “open source” distribution.) A book this important will always draw both defenders and critics, and Lessig himself has gone as far as to produce a free, open-source revision of the text, entitled Code Version 2.0. Lawrence Lessig’s Code and Other Laws of Cyberspace is widely regarded as one of the foundational texts of Internet law.

I feel like she needs her own genre in the Christian Fiction category of Romantic Category. It seems a lot of other people have forgotten about him or never even heard of him before. WMRA: I'll be honest with you, Jonathan, this is the first time I've ever heard of Smedley Butler and it seems that I'm not alone. So he was a lot of different things to a lot of different people different in different points in history. But then, spent the last 10 years of life sort of repenting for what he had done and he became an anti-war, anti-imperialist activist who among other things blew the whistle on what he alleged was a fascist coup to overthrow Franklin Roosevelt in 1934. He was twice the recipient of the Medal of Honor and participated in every overseas invasion/occupation that the United States fought with one or two very small exceptions from 1898 until the 1930s. Katz: He was a marine who joined the Corps in 1898 and passed through all the ranks from Second Lieutenant to Major General.

The side character's were a surprising high point. The (a bit obvious) seeds were planted throughout the book. While the plot was predictable, it was interesting and wasn't shoehorned. And while Bee's denial of her feelings being deeper than just a hook-up was frustrating, it was more a minor annoyance. It's enemies-to-lovers except they were never really enemies it was only in their minds. The romance between Bee and Levi was engrossing. Thankfully, I didn't have anything to worry about because this was great. Enough said.Īfter reading Ali Hazelwood's novellas, I was nervous that Love on the Brain was going to be bad. After reading Ali Hazelwood's novellas, I was nervous that Love on the Brain was going to be bad. I was right there with them in those moments. Those were the moments I was most entrance by this story: when they unrolled the scroll, ran their fingers over the silken strands, and fully envisioned each scene before sinking into the tale. Along with other folktales, this book had so many smaller stories within it that resonated with me a surprising amount. The title fable was gently included throughout, referenced in various situations. “The last words are the title and it’s so perfect and fitting it brought a tear to my eye.” It’s about the power of our past, the hope for a better future, and the haunting question: What would it mean to finally be home?
