Advance praise:
"This is the story about the people behind the most important first battle for the future. When that revolution is won, we will look back to the fight against SOPA/PIPA the way Americans look back to the first shots at Lexington. Beautifully written, and powerfully compelling, this is a must read for anyone who wants a glimpse of where we are going."
--Lawrence Lessig, Roy L. Furman Professor of Law and Leadership, Harvard Law School
