How the Internet will save civilization
David’s iPad app “Why the Net Matters, or Six Ways to Avert the Collapse of Civilization” was recently called a “superbook” by the New York Times Magazine. For a taste of the argument, read David’s article in WIRED or watch a video of his talk at the Long Now Foundation. Don’t have an iPad? The manuscript is now available as an eBook.
