Something will survive for the humans who still want to be online. Private internets. Walled gardens. Subscription services. The doors will be guarded and your name will have to be on the guest list.

Information wants to be free and there are enough enthusiastic people willing to build it another temporary home. We just need to stumble upon the abode. More stories another time...
