Introducing kNOw Future…

… the site of my latest attempt at impossible synthesis. In the begining there were the cryptowars and the first fight against state regulation of speech on the internet, the CDA, 1996 in sum, and that shiny bait was enough to get me hooked. A decade later and I’ve moved on but not off, copyright, patents, the whole gamut of rules governing immaterial borders, the production of meaning and wealth, communication and social cooperation, have been my playpen for a decade. In the meantime the attractions of material culture have grown upon me and I began to think about how these rules apply to medicine, food, and wine – the indicia of ageing, I suppose.
