Unwiring
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A process attending the Negroponte switch and also a move away from a global internetwork which in reality passes through many chokepoints where data may be controlled and inspected toward one which uses available bandwidth frugally by passing communications in a mesh and avoids chokepoints.
Cory Doctorow and Charles Stross write of it, firstly in work associated with the Electronic Frontier Foundation and other techno-futurist groupings, and secondly in their collaboration on a novel in progress Unwirers[1], which is published in its evolving state[2]
