The Law, such as it is

This is an introduction of this season and ideas that the season will explore. Anti-empire, privacy, and competition: these ideas, or as I will call them, values, represent the best of who we’ve been; they are also values we’ve betrayed. These conversations are part of the research for a possible new book. Explore the ideas with me, and with your feedback, help me think them through.
