You wouldn’t think that a book called *In Search of Jefferson’s Moose* could be about the Internet, but it is.

In his book, *[In Search of Jefferson’s Moose: Notes on the State of Cyberspace](http://www.amazon.com/Search-Jeffersons-Moose-Cyberspace-Current/dp/0195342895)*, Temple University Law Professor David Post draws remarkable and entertaining parallels between the Internet and the natural and intellectual landscape that Thomas Jefferson explored, documented, and shaped.

Post will be at the Cato Institute for a [lunch-hour book forum](https://www.cato.org/event.php?eventid=5176) on Wednesday, February 4th. Clive Crook and Jeffrey Rosen will comment.

[Register here](https://www.cato.org/event.php?eventid=5176) to see just how nicely Thomas Jefferson, cyberspace, and a rather large moose fit between the covers of Post’s new book.
