Operating systems and social systems: the imagination of order shared by geeks is both moral and technical. It is not only about the technical structure of the Internet, however innovative that is, but also about the legal and social structure that has emerged with it, the kind of order that has made it possible for geeks to associate in a planetary public and to become aware of the value of the space they have made.

Sistemas operativos y sistemas sociales: la imaginación de orden compartida por los geeks es a la vez moral y técnica. No es sólo sobre la estructura técnica de internet, por muy innovadora que sea, sino también sobre la estructura legal y social que ha emergido con ella, el tipo de orden que ha hecho posible a los geeks asociarse en un público planetario y hacerse conscientes del valor del espacio que han hecho.
