What began as a celebration of freedom has become a machine for monitoring and control. What began as historys greatest dream of enlightenment has been twisted into an antiintellectual nightmare of indoctrination.In twelve essays, several already wellknown but newly revised in this volume, Wikipedia cofounder Larry Sanger stakes out a hardheaded position in favor of the ideals of the digital revolution. At the same time he firmly rejects the disastrous navet that would have us abandon wisdom and autonomy, ignore subversion by bad actors, and blindly trust unaccountable, giant corporations.Sanger concludes with a new essay on the problems facing the free Internet, available only in this book.The essays (270 pgs.): The Early History of Nupedia and Wikipedia: A Memoir Two Early Articles about Wikipedia Wikipedias Original Neutrality Policy Why Neutrality?
