In Culture vs. Copyright: A Diary of a Naïve Philosopher, Anatoly Volynets lays out a treatise challenging many of society’s assumptions about intellectual property, what artistic ownership means, and how to best benefit both the artist and society. While you may not agree with all of his points, this book is sure to generate hours of meaningful discussion. It is an interesting, accessible blend of Walter Benjamin’s The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction, Jostein Gaarder’s Sophie’s World, Lawrence Lessig, and gift economy theory. Definitely a must-read for artists and thinkers alike!

— Shaindel Beers, author of A Brief History of Time and The Children’s War and Other Poems


Nobody paid me to write this blurb. I’m doing it because I think this is a wonderful book and I want a lot of people - like, say, you - to read it and understand the true nature of intangible economics. It makes a lot of points I’ve been making (see my Wired article from 1994 'The Economy of Ideas’) but more entertainingly. Maybe this time y’all will pay better attention. And that will have value to me.
