The Future Of The Internet

The law of cyberspace. That sounds like a hokey blurb no doubt. But hokeness does not mean it is not true. It is true. The field is what we cheerleaders trying to convince a skeptical (academic) world about the importance and value of certain central features of the network. Zittrain gives these features a name -- generativity -- and then shows us an aspect of this generative net that we cheerleaders would rather you not think much about: the extraordinary explosion of malware and the like that the generative net has also generated.
