{"product_id":"free-culture-the-nature-and-future-of-creativity-9780143034650","title":"Free Culture: The Nature and Future of Creativity","description":"Lawrence Lessig, \"the most important thinker on intellectual property in the Internet era\" (\u003cb\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/b\u003e), masterfully argues that never before in human history has the power to control creative progress been so concentrated in the hands of the powerful few, the so-called Big Media. Never before have the cultural powers- that-be been able to exert such control over what we can and can't do with the culture around us. Our society defends free markets and free speech; why then does it permit such top-down control? To lose our long tradition of free culture, Lawrence Lessig shows us, is to lose our freedom to create, our freedom to build, and, ultimately, our freedom to imagine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Adult Hc\/Tr\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/22\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780143034650\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.53lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.72h x 5.04w x 0.69d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/17\/2005 pg. 28\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eIngram Advance\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2005 pg. 96\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Lawrence Lessig","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44608317751477,"sku":"9780143034650","price":20.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_6930c641-269c-4334-8a69-de326e57898a.jpg?v=1725374167","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/free-culture-the-nature-and-future-of-creativity-9780143034650","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
