The Great War blog series

I’ve been on a great writing kick over at R Street, most recently finishing up a 6-part blog series on what I call, with intentional dramatic flair, the “Great War” for the future of internet governance. It’s a composite of (at least) six distinct wars, so in addition to the overview post setting up the series, I wrote a post on each of the battlegrounds as I see them. I’m posting here to link out to them, and to include some favorite snippets from each. At the end of the day, though — despite all the fighting (and the significant underlying problems motivating it) — I remain an optimist!

From the overview: “

  1. Part 1: The Internet vs Democracy: “
  2. Part 2: The Internet vs the Free Market: “
  3. Part 3: The Internet vs Journalism: “
  4. Part 4: The Internet vs Truth: “
  5. Part 5: The Internet vs Happiness: “
  6. Part 6: The Internet vs Itself: “
