Speaking in Cambridge, UK on July 22

On July 22, I'm coming to Cambridge, UK to give a talk called "Life in the Information Economy" as part of the Cambridge Business Lecture series. It's a free event, but there's limited space, so RSVP now!

We made a bet, some decades ago, that the information economy would be based on buying and selling (and hence restricting copying of) information. We were totally, 100 percent wrong, and now the world’s in turmoil because of it. What does a copy-native economy look like? How do everyone from barbers to musicians become richer, more fulfilled and more civilly engaged in a real information society. And what do we do about the fact that a couple of dinosauric entertainment companies are determined to screw it up?

Any chance we can convince you to bring the same talk up to Scotland when they're done with it down south?

thought process:
1) Yay! Cambridge!
2) Fuck. UK. Come to the other Cambridge!
3) Or just come to Providence, RI! Because you're clearly doing the book tour for me.

Hey, Daveybot! I've done talks in Edinburgh and Glasgow since I moved to the UK, and I'm sure I'll do more before long!
