Quotations
Knowledge in the form of an informational commodity indispensable to productive
power is already, and will continue to be, a major—perhaps the major—stake
in the worldwide competition for power. It is conceivable that the nation-states
will one day fight for control of information, just as they battled in the past
for control over territory, and afterwards for control over access to and
exploitation of raw materials and cheap labor. Jean François Lyotard The
Postmodern Condition: A Report on Knowledge, introduction (1979).
