CYBER: Cory Doctorow on Why the Internet Broke and How to Fix It

Have you noticed your internet is .... kinda shitty? Does Spotfiy's smart shuffle keep playing the same Cure song over and over again? Does a quick google search give you page after page of obvious advertisements? Want to leave Facebook behind but that one group chat keeps you checking in day after day?

Well have I got the book for you. It's The Internet Con: How to Seize the Means of Computation.It's a little bit history, it's a little bit manifesto, and it's all about one simple concept that can help us get out of this mess: interoperability.

Here with me today to discuss is the book's author, Cory Doctorow. Doctorow is a writer, activist, and journalist.
