    Cory absolutely cooks every single time without fail. I’m also a huge fan of how he really doesn’t budge on the point that corps are at fault for the enshitternet - I’ve followed him for years and that has always been his central point, or at least one of them. 10/10 writer and speaker too

      Updoot for “gaping anus”. That’s going to work its way into my everyday parlance.

    I listen attentively to pretty much anything Cory Doctorow says about the internet and technology, he’s been consistently insightful as hell on the subject. His books are also pretty good.

      Not only that, but many of his books are freely available epubs with no DRM. You can read them and decide if you like his style before going on to buy the others.

        Radicalized is a really good collection of shorter works. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radicalized_(Doctorow_book)

        I quite liked Walkaway, but I’ve got kind of an anarchist bent myself, so.

    Excellent read, this isn’t a post you should just up vote blindly, read it first.

      He is at least thoughtful, a good communicator and helpful.
