On July 22, I'm coming to Cambridge, UK to give a talk called "Life in the Information Economy" as part of the Cambridge Business Lecture series. It's a free event, but there's limited space, so RSVP now!
We made a bet, some decades ago, that the information economy would be based on buying and selling (and hence restricting copying of) information. We were totally, 100 percent wrong, and now the world's in turmoil because of it. What does a copy-native economy look like? How do everyone from barbers to musicians become richer, more fulfilled and more civilly engaged in a real information society. And what do we do about the fact that a couple of dinosauric entertainment companies are determined to screw it up?
