Stuart Brand coined the phrase information wants to be free. He said, “On the one hand information wants to be expensive, because it's so valuable. The right information in the right place just changes your life. On the other hand, information wants to be free, because the cost of getting it out is getting lower and lower all the time. So you have these two fighting against each other.”

![Page 53: It\'s Your Move](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103109/5454f1b4af795997708b6029/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)

The diversified and multifaceted media environment permitted easy mobility across channels and content space
producing an evasive or unmanageable consumer whose attention became a
scarce resource. To market researchers, consumers began to appear as

perform data analyses. These suppliers used this data to identify customer buying patterns at the store display level. They used this information to manage local store inventory and identify new
merchandising opportunities. Wal-Mart computers processed over 1 million complex data queries.

Living in a commercialized and surveiled environment entailed
producing a double that enters into the circulation of the capitalist economy as raw material for
information commodities. This virtual double, or multiple doubles, existed in
the virtual world of cyber space.
