A good primer on Doctorow and his thoughts on copyright, media centralization, and the creative power of the internet. The essays contained within were written over many years and for many different audiences, so you see the re-use of several analogies and rhetorical devices throughout. Apparently, for example, when Doctorow was living in San Fransisco, he discovered his barber through Google Maps. You learn that fact several times :o)
