Title: Common as Air
Description: “*The field of knowledge is the common property of mankind.*” Jefferson

With his newest book, Common as Air, Hyde has returned to offer a critique of the idea that all creative work is "intellectual property" and to elucidate and defend our "cultural commons". [More of Ward Sutton's review][1].
