As a final exam, you will submit a 2-3 page essay on a topic of your choice related to one of the chapters in the book Blown to Bits: Your Life, Liberty, and Happiness After the Digital Explosion by Hal Abelson, Ken Ledeen, and Harry Lewis. The book is available online as a pdf for free at http://www.bitsbook.com/excerpts/ and the related website with additional material is at http://www.bitsbook.com/.

For this assignment, you will:

1. select one chapter or several sections in Blown to Bits
2. write a 2-3 page response paper containing “new” material

This should be a contribution based on your own experience, and/or an angle or view not covered by the authors. You should also draw upon the points discussed in lectures, on the team blogs, and in the course wiki pages.

This will be an individual essay, and is due by email on Friday March 12th.
