Zittrain Discusses His New Book "The Future of the Internet"

Jonathan Zittrain is the author of a new book entitled "The Future of the Internet and How to Stop It." In it he discusses the implications of complete openness and why a "generative" Internet must be actively protected from sterile, closed platforms like the iPhone. In this interview, which is remarkably well done by a mainstream reporter, Zittrain explains the book.



I hope to read the work this summer; it looks fascinating.

On a related note, Zittrain co-founded the Berkman Center for Internet and Society at Harvard Law School. I'll be attending their 10 year anniversary conference next month and the agenda is great, so I recommend you check it out.
