This is one of the seminal books in its field, but even v2.0 has been overtaken by events. It's time for v3.0.

We have a choice in how code and the Internet rule our lives. Lessig, during the turn of the new millenium, urged us to consider this choice. The law, the market, social norms, and the architecture of code are four forces that shape our access to information and community. Lessig was early to identify many of the challenges we’re still grappling with on the web (eg. free speech, privacy, copyright). And even though many of his proposed solutions never came to fruition (eg. an identity layer, filter tags), it doesn’t mean they’re without merit. He feared that we’d live in a world where we forget that we have a choice about how information (including our own) is shared and that privacy is lost. Unfortunately, he wasn’t wrong, at least for now. Code (both legal and technical) is inevitable, but its design is not.

Ok. So it's not like I wouldn't finish it, it's just that it is so out of date that I feel silly wasting my time doing so.
