Join us to discuss Cory Doctorow’s “The Internet Con: how to seize the means of computation”
About this Event

The Culture and Technology Book club brings readers together once a month to discuss new and classic texts that raise important questions about the way technology transforms our cultural and political lives.


This month we read Cory Doctorow’s

Can’t quite leave that toxic social media platform because you’ll also lose all your old posts and followers? Maybe that was their plan all along. Cory Doctorow argues that our best chance to conquer the domination of Big Tech, and create an internet worth going on, is through pushing for and developing systems with interoperability. Cory Doctorow is a Canadian tech journalist, activist and major contributor to the Electronic Frontiers Foundation
