Social capital may turn out to be a prerequisite for, rather than a consequence of, effective computer-mediated communication.

The internet was supposed to liberate knowledge, but in fact it buried it, first under a vast sewer of ignorance, laziness, bigotry, superstition and filth and then beneath the cloak of political surveillance. Now…cyberspace exists exclusively to promote commerce, gossip and pornography. And of course to hunt down sedition. Only paper is safe. Books are...

Maxim 33:If you’re leaving tracks, you’re being followed.-The Seventy Maxims of Maximally Effective Mercenaries

Every good writer I know needs to go into some deep, quiet place to do work that is fully imagined. And what the Internet brings is lots of vulgar data. It is the antithesis of the imagination. It leaves nothing to the imagination.

Attention is the limited resource on the internet – not disk capacity, processor speed or bandwidth.

I have more online contacts than I can count. I make about one hundred connections a day. I have access to millions of people. I use to think that I had friends in these numbers. But virtual friends are like stars stretched out in the sky. They’re out there, they exist, and I can imagine...

But it would be broadcast, and in the great public theatre of his age; that unregulated market of braying narcissists, that Wild West of disinformation and fraud, that infinite sea of piracy, the great electorate where the constituency of billions voted their approval with a click of a mouse. The internet. It brought governments down...

I would say the consumer Internet companies – in a lot of ways, if you go inside the consumer Internet companies and you see how they run, it’s how all their businesses are going to run.

You could write a book about things that you can’t find on-line.

Google can bring you back 100,000 answers. A librarian can bring you back the right one.

What the printing press is to Christianity in the 16th century, that’s what the Internet is doing to Islam now. It has opened up the monopoly over the interpretation of Islam that used to solely belong to the religious class.

If you rob too much from one person, it becomes murder. If you steal little by little, it looks like business. Just find a way to refine it. The Internet has made it possible to connect to the whole world via one platform. Steal a penny from each person, call it service charge and you...

There’s something on the Internet called the White Resistance Manual. It’s pretty much for white supremacists.

I care about a lot of issues. I care about libraries, I care about healthcare, I care about homelessness and unemployment. I care about net neutrality and the steady erosion of our liberties both online and off. I care about the rich/poor divide and the rise of corporate business.

If ever I create a website, I’ll call it Two-Face Book, and I’ll invite everyone to it, it will be a game board, of a whitewash chalkboard.A social network, with reserved intentions, where we can fall into our cliques and circle of friends. We can dis who we want and accept who appeals to our...

Copies have been dethroned; the economic model built on them is collapsing. In a regime of superabundant free copies, copies are no longer the basis of wealth.

Dinding tipis yang membatasi antara dunia maya dan dunia nyata adalah pengetahuan. Jadi apapun yang anda lakukan di internet, menggambarkan anda di dunia nyata.

They’re called sock puppets. We create armies of artificial online personas – user accounts that espouse views certain interested parties want espoused. We flood forums, online comment sections, social media. … It’s amazing what a few people and a little money can accomplish online. Our puppets have turned whole elections. … Everything the public sees...

I used to have a lot of faith in humanity before the advent of the website “comment” section.

If my generation is remembered for anything, it will be as the last one that remembers the world before the Internet.
