Net Neutrality Book - New Project
I've started drafting my Network Neutrality book.
Its beginning with the inter-galatic network -- the vision of networking begat by J.C.R. Licklider, the MIT professor and the first person to fund Internet research through ARPA. Licklider was a genius of rare lucidity.  Unlike many of the great visionaires of the 20th century, most of his ideas have come true. Part pyschologist, he dreamed of computers that could extend human capacity, and a network that might connect every computer and human on earth.  If those seem that fait accompli by now, that's the testament to his particular genuis. One of his visions, while it may seem simple enough now, is that computers would be used for, and would in fact revolutionize, communications.  That's it. Simple, but look how much came from that idea. Here's more, from the 1960s:
we believe that we are entering a technological age in which we will be able to interact with the richness of living information—not merely in the passive way that we have become accustomed to using books and libraries, but as active participants in an ongoing process, bringing something to it through our interaction with it, and not simply receiving something from it by our connection to it.
