About Lawrence Lessig
A Harvard Law professor and New York Times bestselling author, Lessig first became known for developing the very foundations of internet law, allowing the sharing of copyrighted content. He has since taken on issues at the core of our system of government, particularly the impact of money on politics. His 2015 effort to enter the presidential campaign was a crusade for campaign finance reform with a clarion call to "fix democracy first." Throughout his career, Lessig's farseeing ideas and efforts have drawn support from some of America's most important business and political leaders and garnered numerous honors and awards. He is one of Scientific American's Top 50 Visionaries and was named to Fastcase 50 "honoring the law's smartest, most
courageous innovators, techies, visionaries and leaders." In his latest venture, Lessig is lending his expertise to build the political framework for Seed, a new multiplayer online game in which characters populating a new planet collectively decide how they want to govern themselves.
