Hi, lovely people! Hope you all are having a great time and feeling
gorgeous, yay! :D
Really respect Rufus and his work a lot. I swear you will probably love
his book and references! :D
And, well, if you eventually hate all of them, it's pretty OK, no
problem... The best thing about him is knowing he is completely open to
_constructive_ feedbacks and _productive_ discussions about the Open
Culture! :D
He is cute and patient, millions of times more polite than me, and zillions
of times more intelligent too. One of the good guys, trust me! :)
Wish you all kisses, hugs, books, smiles, music, and love! <3
Ceci, still alive and kicking... and being kicked, ouch! :P

This book is about something bigger than tech itself. It’s about
information, ownership and control in a digital age. It talks directly to a
number of lives issues, ranging from access to medicines, to the future of
work and privacy, digital monopolies and power in a connected world.

Will the digital revolution give us digital dictatorships or digital
democracies? Forget everything you think you know about the digital age.
It’s not about privacy, surveillance, AI or blockchain—it’s about
*ownership*. Because in a digital age, who owns information controls the
future.
Today’s “Closed” digital economy is the source of problems ranging from the
power of a handful of tech monopolies to control how we think and vote, to
unaffordable medicines, to growing inequality. The solution is not
technological but political: a choice between making information Open,
shared by all, or making it Closed, exclusively owned and controlled.
By choosing Open we can make a more equitable, innovative and profitable
future for all.
