First Sentence

"At the endof his review of my first book,Code:And Other Laws of Cyberspace, David Pogue, a brilliant writer and author of countless technical and computer-related texts,wrote this: Unlike actual law,Internet software has no capacity to punish.It doesn’t affect people who aren’t online (and only a tiny minority of the world population is). And if you don’t like the Internet’s system,you can always flip off the modem."
