I guess he not watching much commercial TV these days.

“Imagine if every time you turned on your TV someone tried to rob you.”

Ah, they do.

Thanks for the audio link, the talk was much more comprehensible that way.

I stopped reading Sterling’s stuff after he and Gibson wrote a “novel” together that consisted of a few sample chapters and a page of incoherent notes. This talk is a lot like that book.

That was incredibly difficult to follow in written format. Thanks for the audio link.

It flows a lot better in audio format. Benkler's book is cool, but thought it was funny Sterling's remarks on how not too many people have stumbled across even though it's free. Good read, but a bit dense in portions…

An interesting, if somewhat schizophrenic read. The icing on the cake for me was finding out that Yochai Benkler’s book is available as a free pdf.

alright………

Maybe I’m fucktarded, but can someone lay out the narrative thread that takes that speech from the beginning to end. He lost me during at least five transitions.
