the DMCA and its effects on the US

Wardriving/lack of wireless security

RFID's

Property rights concerning digital media...and how the definition of that changes over time

Are all pretty current topics that have potential to make or are making some big changes...

The World is Flat --> Thomas Friedman

very long book but I reccomend it. I don't know if his is extremely pursuasive or what but I agree (and look forward to) most of what he predicts.
