A radical new way of looking at compensation for owners and creators in the
Net-based economy.
By Esther Dyson

"The Net dramatically changes the economics of content. Because it allows us
to copy content essentially for free, the Net poses interesting challenges
for owners, creators, sellers, and users of intellectual property. In this
new world of the Net, it is easy to copy information but hard to find it. It
is easy to program software to solve problems but hard to define those
problems and questions precisely."

=====================================================
I do not see anything wrong with one personal favorites. They could be
favorites for any number of reasons, maybe they were a fun read, maybe they
were informative, or maybe they caused one to think about and more closely
examine ones own position. Just because a particular author is on a list is
not a real issue (so much of modern political reporting is not on real
substantive issues). If the list were built of only those type authors
then that would be of concern. Personally I think reading much fiction such
as the bible is a waste of time.

I have no real list of favorite books because it would mostly be populated
with the books I have most recently read. Look at my journal for the last
several years for a list of what I have been reading. I tend to mostly
history and lately economics with an occasional science fiction thrown in
just to kill a little time.
