To celebrate the release of my new book, *Information Doesn't Want to Be Free: Laws for the Internet Age*, I've invited some of my favorite creators and thinkers to write about their philosophy on the arts and the Internet. Today, Neil Gaiman, author of the just-published Hansel and Gretel (with Lorenzo Mattotti), has granted kind permission to reproduce his introduction to Information Doesn't Want to Be Free. -Cory http://boingboing.net/2014/11/06/neil-gaiman-how-i-learned-to.html
