For me, at least, this sophomore effort does not rise to quite the high level of his most excellent The Twenty-Six Words The Created the Internet. Still, it is full of good information and perspective.

I don't agree with many of his policy recommendations (truth be told, he's too much of a libertarian for my taste, and thus he tends to be willing to tolerate a great deal of life warping trolling on the Internet to allow for the possibility that there might be a Thomas Paine out there somewhere, who needs someday to publish a blog anonymously). Regardless, he makes sincere efforts to defend his positions, which make them interesting foils to alternative viewpoints. ( )
