In this prologue, the author describes situation in which the culture we live in is invariably being affected by the Internet.
Like it or not, use it or not, the internet is affecting our daily lives.
I personally agree with this, because in recent years, and likely more so in future years, things are becoming more and more online.
As business leans towards online features and services, it becomes harder to stay offline.
I don't doubt that in the future, we could find ourselves unable to operate in society without being online.
The author then turns to say that our creativity itself is being controlled, and through this creativity, our culture is not as free as it should be.
He says he stands for the balance between control and anarchy, but doesn't want either of them.
That idealism, before the book gets too technical, is simple and easy to agree with.
Anybody who creates wants their work to be protected, but not restricted.
