Jacking In: A Monthly Series on Cyberspace Literacy presents
LAW AND DISORDER ON THE ELECTRONIC FRONTIER

Computer and telecommunications technologies hold great promise for 
individuals and society.  Increased access to information can enhance 
transborder commerce, informed political participation, community 
development, and public health, education, and safety.

But, between activities of questionable legality and countermeasures 
taken by private parties and law enforcement officials, these 
technologies are raising fundamental questions about our notions of 
privacy, property, freedom of speech, and freedom of assembly.

Join us for a evening of provocative readings and presentations by:

- Bruce Sterling, journalist, editor, and author of *The Hacker 
  Crackdown*, *Islands in the Net*, *Schismatrix*, and co-author (with 
  William Gibson) of *The Difference Engine*
- Mike Godwin, General Counsel, Electronic Frontier Foundation, leading 
  advocate for extending Constitutional protections to cyberspace
- John Draper (a.k.a. Cap'n Crunch), wanted by the FBI for phone 
  cracking in the '60s, working to promote data encryption in the '90s
- Mitch Ratcliffe, Editor at Large, MacWEEK, and cofounder of This!Group, a 
  northern California organization working to publicize the benefits and 
  dangers of a highly-networked information society
- Bruce Koball, General Chair, Third Conference on Computers, Freedom 
  and Privacy, being held March 9-12, San Francisco Airport Marriott
