"Anarchistic sturctures and tactics matter to our daily lives more each day. Implicitly, therefore, important social, spiritual, and communicative networks are building themselves along the principles of radical democracy - or as it is sometimes called, anarchy.

Peer-to-peer systems, like other distributed systems, are like punk rock: They empower fans and citizens, create new communities, and close the gap between creators and consumers. They democratize elements of cultural production and demand a new set of theories. ..."
-- Siva Vaidhyanathan, In "The Anarchist in the Library"
