Washington Post:
Meet the man whose utopian vision for the Internet conquered, and then warped, Silicon Valley
By Jacob Silverman
"To understand where this cyber-libertarian ideology came from, you have to understand the influence of "A Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace," one of the strangest artifacts of the '90s, and its singular author, john perry barlow. Perhaps more than any other, it's his philosophy - which melded countercultural utopianism, a rancher's skepticism toward government and a futurist's faith in the virtual world - that shaped the industry.
"A Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace" was an utterly serious document for a deliriously optimistic era
barlow's 846-word text, published online in February 1996, begins with a bold rebuke of traditional sovereign powers: "Governments of the Industrial World, you weary giants of flesh and steel, I come from Cyberspace, the new home of Mind. On behalf of the future, I ask you of the past to leave us alone. You are not welcome among us. You have no sovereignty where we gather." He then explains how cyberspace is a place of ultimate freedom, where conventional laws don't apply.
When Eric Schmidt describes the Internet, however misguidedly, as "the world's largest ungoverned space" in his book "The New Digital Age," he is borrowing barlow's rhetoric. When tech mogul Peter Thiel writes, in "The Education of a Libertarian," that he founded PayPal to create a currency free from government control and that "by starting a new Internet business, an entrepreneur may create a new world," it's impossible not to hear Barlovian echoes. (That grandiose attitude is so common now that HBO has a comedy, "Silicon Valley," dedicated to mocking it.)"
