If you want the internet, well, we have it. But the internet is like looking at a landscape through a keyhole, and, what’s more, a keyhole that’s getting narrower all the time. We shouldn’t forget that the way Google works, for instance, is to look at all the searches you’ve made in the past, and work out what it thinks you want to see now based on what you’ve looked at before. It shuts down a lot of possibilities before you even start. You’ll never know what’s there, because it keeps most of it out of sight. If you really want complete freedom of choice, complete openness of information, where nobody is spying on you, no-one is selling your presence to advertisers, the only place to find it is a library, where they keep books.
