CC pp 1-58

What I found particularly interesting in the reading was when the author wrote in the introduction about feeling challenged in writing the book because "everything seems to be changing at once and there is no vantage point that takes me above the fray." Later, in chapter one, in discussing t.v. reality show spoilers and how they obtain the information no one supposedly has access to, he writes: "Imagine the kinds of information these fans could collect, if they sought to spoil the government rather than the networks." It looks like this book was copyrighted in 2006, so it seems that his original concern with the speed of change and then the spoiling of government business is now proven with Julian Assange's sharing of government secrets on Wikileaks. I just thought that was creepily interesting.
