Declaration Of The Independence Of Cyberspace

manifesto written by John Perry Barlow in 1996.

aiming for independence of CyberSpace (Net-Heads) from Nation-States.

Governments of the Industrial World, you weary giants of flesh and steel, I come from Cyberspace, the new home of Mind. On behalf of the future, I ask you of the past to leave us alone. You are not welcome among us. You have no sovereignty where we gather.
