Information is power. As a scientist, you are discovering new information,
and hence you are in the “information is power” equation, and possibly into the
problems of power. If you haven’t thought about the problems, Brian Martin’s
Information Liberation will be a challenge. And if you are already wrestling
with the issues—trying to balance intellectual property rights with making
the world a better place, the problems of defamation and
whistle-blowing—you’ll find it invaluable. Published by Freedom Press,
£7.95, ISBN 090038493X.
