Complete fan-reading of my essay collection "Content"

Jan Rubak, a Canadian mathematician/physicist, has been reading aloud all the essays from my collection Content: Selected Essays on Technology, Creativity, Copyright and the Future of the Future and uploading them to the Internet Archive, and this week, he finished! He's even included some bonus material from John Perry Barlow. These are great readings and this was a gigantic undertaking -- thanks, Jan!

I've included a bonus chapter at the end with Barlow's "Economy of Ideas" plus a somewhat impassioned reading of "A Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace" to round out the whole experience.

Sometime in the next month or two, I'll also upload some afterthoughts of my own as a final entry (but first I'm going to listen to the whole thing through from start to finish).

Great! I'll be putting this on my iPod immediately.

Thanks, both!

C.D., I loved this collection and should probably listen to it read. I’m pretty sure stuff hits the brain differently when you listen to a work instead of just reading. May I suggest that you do a reading from this collection at the upcoming Crises ConFusion? We are very much looking forward to your visit to our frozen-solid state of Michigan. Seriously, anything you read would be great, but these essays are very powerful and thought provoking.
