Publisher's Note
Explores the meaning of intellectual property in the new high-tech digital age, addressing the legal, social, and economic factors at work and provides a thought-provoking argument that those qualities that have made the Internet a dynamic force for creativity, freedom, and innovation could destroy the Intenet's potential.

Industry Reviews
"Sadly, Lessig's grim assessment is dead on....In the end, THE FUTURE OF IDEAS is less valuable as legal scholarship than as sweeping cultural criticism. It's a manifesto that shakes you up, making you aware of how much is lost when a culture turns 'ideas' into 'intellectual property."'
New York Times Book Review - Daniel Zalewski (01/06/2002)

"THE FUTURE OF IDEAS is a dazzling inventive work about familiar things....[Lessig's] ideas could provide a foundation for real action."
Los Angeles Times Book Review - Alex Soojung Kim Pang (01/13/2002)

"This is vital reading for anyone concerned about protecting ideas and their expression in cyberspace or, indeed, in ending the ownership of ideas."
Globe and Mail (Toronto) - Andrew Allentuck (12/03/2001)
