After the claimed or superficial a-politicism of tech executives and
various leaders presented in Tech Dogma #1, we now turn to the dominant
ideology of technology circles : Libertarianism. We look at one emblematic
case – that of John Barlow, who came from the very upper fringes of
society, went to India in the fashion typical of his class, and liked to
play cattle rancher on his farm. These social origins later found their
expressions in visions of an Internet and Web conceived as Libertarian
space.
