"[Lessig] has staked out a role as one of academia's avant-garde thinkers about cyberspace and the law." The Wall Street Journal
"Lessig's exposition reads like a Stanley Kubrick film, with the menace made palpable by new technologies....It is a troubling book, and one that needs to be taken seriously." Daniel Bell, author of The Coming of Post-Industrial Society
"Lessig's book is an astonishing achievement. The nation's leading scholar of cyberspace has produced a paradigm-shifting work that will transform the debate about the architecture of cyberspace. Lessig challenges us to make choices about freedom, privacy, intellectual property, and technology that most of us didn't recognize as choices in the first place. This dark, exhilarating work is the most important book of its generation about the relationship between law, cyberspace, and social organization." Jeffrey Rosen, Legal Affairs Editor, The New Republic
"Lessig penetrates the cyberfluff to reveal the deep structure of our brave new world." Bruce Ackerman, Sterling Professor of Law and Political Science, Yale University
"This may be the most important book ever published about the Internet, as well as one of the most readable. Lessig's ideas are deep and insightful, and they will shape the way the future develops. He is a master at seeing the important ideas lurking behind things we all take for granted." Mark A. Lemley, Boalt Hall School of Law, University of California, Berkeley
"Lawrence Lessig exposes the limits of prevailing views about how cyberspace is (and is not) regulated, and makes a compelling case for the urgency of learning to transcend those limits. Code is essential reading for those who care about the future of cyberspace, and of the human society within which "cyberspace" plays an increasingly central role." Julie E. Cohen, Georgetown University Law Center
"Lawrence Lessig takes seriously the proposition that, in cyberspace, code is the law, and he traces out the consequences in a lucid and insightful way. If you want to know what daily life will be like in the computer-mediated twenty-first century, this is essential reading." William J. Mitchell
"Lawrence Lessig is a James Madison of our time, crafting the lineaments of a well-tempered cyberspace. This book is a primer of "running code" for digital civilization. Like Madison, Lessig is a model of balance, judgement, ingenuity, and persuasive argument." Stewart Brand, author of The Media Lab and The Clock of the Long Now
