  • "Jonathan Zittrain argues that the Internet is on a path towards ruin. He argues that the Internet is losing 'generativity', the capacity to welcome unfiltered contributions from anyone, and offers a way for us to save this generative Internet."

  • "In The Future of the Internet: And How to Stop It Jonathan Zittrain explores the dangers the internet faces if it fails to balance ever more tightly controlled technologies with the flow of innovation that has generated so much progress in the field of technology. Zittrain argues that todayâ s technological market is dominated by two contrasting business models: the generative and the non-generative. The generative models â the PCs, Windows and Macs of this world â allow third parties to build upon and share through them. The non-generative model is more restricted; appliances such as the xbox, iPod and tomtom might work well, but the only entity that can change the way they operate is the vendor. If we want the internet to survive we need to change. People must wake up to the risk or we could lose everything."
  • "This book is fundamental. It will define the debate about the future of the Internet, long after we haven't stopped it. Absolutely required reading.In the past ten years the Internet has revolutionized every aspect of our lives. But the future's not what it used to be."
  • "The author pieces together the engine that has catapulted the Internet ecosystem into the prominence it has today, offers an accessible discussion of the problems of an "appliancized" future, and provides a set of solutions to help stop it."@en
