Jon Ronson’s got a brisk new series in the works – Esc & Ctrl, about the Internet and who’s controlling it…and your access to information on it.
The Guardian is soliciting inputs as to the direction viewers would like to see the series veer:

My comments were that I’d:
…like to know more about what the WWW is, who started it and why, and who ‘runs’ it.
Also, is anybody ‘planning’ the expansion of the Internet? Is it all random or is their an overarching goal?
What do Singularitarians like Ray Kurzweil believe about the future of the Internet? Will we upload bits of ourselves online.. or perhaps our whole consciousness, rather than living ‘Second Lives’ through Avatars?
Will the Internet become Intelligent?
What do futurists like Michio Kaku think will happen with the Internet? There’s someone to interview!
