Washington Post:
Meet the man whose utopian vision for the Internet conquered, and then warped, Silicon Valley
Byย Jacob Silverman
"To understand where this cyber-libertarian ideology came from, you have to understand the influence of โA Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace,โ one of the strangest artifacts of the โ90s, and its singular author,ย John Perry Barlow. Perhaps more than any other, itโs his philosophy โ which melded countercultural utopianism, a rancherโs skepticism toward government and a futuristโs faith in the virtual world โ that shaped the industry.
โA Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspaceโ was an utterly serious document for a deliriously optimistic era
Barlowโs 846-word text, published online in February 1996, begins with a bold rebuke of traditional sovereign powers: โGovernments of the Industrial World, you weary giants of flesh and steel, I come from Cyberspace, the new home of Mind. On behalf of the future, I ask you of the past to leave us alone. You are not welcome among us. You have no sovereignty where we gather.โ He then explains how cyberspace is a place of ultimate freedom, where conventional laws donโt apply.
When Eric Schmidt describes the Internet, however misguidedly, as โthe worldโs largest ungoverned spaceโ in his bookย โThe New Digital Age,โย he is borrowing Barlowโs rhetoric. When tech mogul Peter Thiel writes, in โThe Education of a Libertarian,โ that he founded PayPal to create a currency free from government control and that โby starting a new Internet business, an entrepreneur may create a new world,โ itโs impossible not to hear
Barlovian echoes. (That grandiose attitude is so common now that HBO has a comedy, โSilicon Valley,โ dedicated toย mocking it.)"
