Summary
Our behaviour in informational environments is governed by new mechanisms of control. Technological environments do not simply enable or constrain specific behaviours, but are instead instrumented so that rational choices of agents are directed towards pre-specified goals. This type of engagement with the informational world is under-theorised in law. This chapter argues that we need to transcend the separation between physical and informational and work on building appropriate techno-legal mechanisms. It suggests we can think about these emerging environments, and the legalities that are implemented into them, as emerging jurisdictions that do not undermine law, but rather give it another form of expression.
