Rae Travis is having one of those days...First her computer breaks down at the top-secret laboratory where she works; then a tire blows on the way home, sending her into a border patrolman's cruiser in her in her driveway! Simon Kirk captures her interest, but his assignment is temporary. Someone in the area is ferrying terrorists between Florida and a nearby island used as a sanctuary, and Simon has to track him down. His news shocks Rae-she works on a project to safeguard airplanes from terrorist sabotage-but she never expects the danger to reach her. The next night, however, she and her brother find someone operating a secret radio transmitter, and their discovery nearly gets them killed. Rae's fears double when she learns that the technician who repairs her computer may be concealing her identity. If the project data fell into the wrong hands, the results would be devastating. Without concrete proof Rae is helpless to stop her coworker, unless she takes drastic steps that may cost her her job-and her life!

Although the book is named Code and Other Laws of Cyberspace, Lessig uses this theme sparingly. It is a fairly simple concept: since cyberspace is entirely human-made, there are no natural laws to determine its architecture. While we tend to assume that what is in cyberspace is a given, in fact everything there is a construction based on decisions made by people. What we can and can't do there is governed by the underlying code of all of the programs that make up the Internet, which both permit and restrict. So while the libertarians among us rail against the idea of government, our freedoms in cyberspace are being determined by an invisible structure that is every bit as restricting as any laws that can come out of a legislature, legitimate or not. Even more important, this invisible code has been written by people we did not elect and who have no formal obligations to us, such as the members of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) or the more recently-developed Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). It follows that what we will be able to do in the future will be determined by code that will be written tomorrow, and we should be thinking about who will determine what this code will be.
