The Net is a unique creation of human intelligence.
… the first intelligent artificial organism.
… represents the growth of a new society within the old.
… represents a new model of governance.
… represents a threat to civil liberties.
… the greatest free marketplace of ideas that has ever existed.
The Net is in imminent danger of extinction.
The Net is immortal.
- - Henry Edward Hardy, introduction to The History of the Net
