About This Item
New York: Harper / HarperCollins, 2009. 1st ed.. Hardback octavo, dustjacket, very good condition (in very good dustjacket), cloth spine, minor edgewear, remainder mark (spot). 232 pp. American novelist Mark Helprin offers a ringing Jeffersonian defense of private property. In this age of digital culture, we get degradation of thought and language, and collectivist bias against the rights of individual creators. His 2007 New York Times essay about the extension of the term of copyright quickly accumulated 750,000 angry comments. Helprin realized how drastically different this generation is from those before it. The Creative Commons movement and the copyright abolitionists, like the rest of their generation, were educated with a modern bias toward collaboration rather than individualism.
