Couchcast co-host Matthew Reinbold and his blog’s readers have helped us choose the Couchcast Book of the Month (BOTM) for July 2008: The Future of the Internet (And How to Stop It) by Jonathan Zittrain.

From Bloomburst:

The book is available online for free (legally) so there’s no reason not to read along and join the discussion on a future CouchCast episode in early airing the last Monday in July (28th).

Like any good futurist with a doomsday prophesy Jonathan has been making the press tour rounds. The first embedded clip is a quick, easy to digest six minute piece from the Colbert Report. While not meaty in details it does reveal that the future of the Internet will be fought between D&D themed Chaotic-Good and Chaotic-Evil forces [rated E for Entertainment]:

Check out the Bloomburst blog for more on this book, links to downloading it (legally, free) and videos where Zittrain discusses his theories.
