内容简介
······
The "alarming and impassioned"* book on how the Internet is redefining constitutional law, now reissued as the first popular book revised online by its readers (* New York Times ) There's a common belief that cyberspace cannot be regulated-that it is, in its very essence, immune from the government's (or anyone else's) control. Code , first published in 2000, argues that this belief is wrong. It is not in the nature of cyberspace to be unregulable; cyberspace has no "nature." It only has code-the software and hardware that make cyberspace what it is. That code can create a place of freedom-as the original architecture of the Net did-or a place of oppressive control. Under the influence of commerce, cyberpsace is becoming a highly regulable space, where behavior is much more tightly controlled than in real space. But that's not inevitable either. We can-we must-choose what kind of cyberspace we want and what freedoms we will guarantee. These choices are all about architecture: about what kind of code will govern cyberspace, and who will control it. In this realm, code is the most significant form of law, and it is up to lawyers, policymakers, and especially citizens to decide what values that code embodies. Since its original publication, this seminal book has earned the status of a minor classic. This second edition, or Version 2.0, has been prepared through the author's wiki, a web site that allows readers to edit the text, making this the first reader-edited revision of a popular book.

评论 ······
看过第十一章，以后会在看一遍，这本书的文笔还是不错的，也通俗易懂。
讀完這本書我才真正理解爲何Lawrence Lessig要搞Creative Commons以及其他爲互聯網創作者發聲的事情，不過作者最後的觀點則有待商榷
2.0版本改动不大，多年之前读过初版的中文版，但是感受不深。最近重读，比对中国现行的实践，感觉历史又再转译中上演。
Some original ideas and some interesting cases. However, it's too much of a law review piece.
