Maryland Juice Invades Republic of Texas // What Is An eBook Mixtape? We're Launching a Special New Book Project at SXSW

Maryland Juice has just arrived in Austin, Texas for the annual SXSW festival. I am here to launch a new project with my colleagues & allies from the fight to stop SOPA & PIPA (aka Internet censorship legislation that stalled in Congress a few weeks ago).

Along with David Segal from Demand Progress and Patrick Ruffini from Engage DC, I am writing, editing and curating content for a new eBook titled:

Hacking Politics: How we -- the Internet -- stood up to defend ourselves against #SOPA & #PIPA

I'll be trickling out details about the project -- and hopefully some teaser content very soon. The eBook will not only feature important commentary from key figures in the fight for Internet freedom; we are also going to try and highlight a new model for how eBooks are created (see a hint below). Stay tuned!

P.S. Maryland Juice will be publishing on a bizarre and erratic schedule over the next couple days. Apologies in advance, but rest assured -- more MD political juice coming soon!
