Code and Other Laws of Cyberspace

"Code and Other Laws of Cyberspace" is a book by Lawrence Lessig that explores how digital environments, like the internet, are controlled not just by laws but also by software code. Lessig argues that the design of technology shapes user behavior and societal norms, much like laws do in the physical world. He emphasizes the importance of understanding these "codes" as they can enable or restrict freedom, privacy, and expression online. The work advocates for thoughtful regulation that balances innovation with the protection of individual rights in the digital age.
