Cory Doctorow on How Science Fiction Informs the Future
Science fiction gets a lot of credit for inventing the future. But one of the most popular science fiction authors today isn’t convinced his compatriots have a crystal ball.

The Coming Century of War Against Your Computer | Cory Doctorow
The war against computer freedom will just keep escalating, Doctorow contends. The copyright wars, net neutrality, and SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) were early samples of what is to come. Victories in those battles were temporary. Conflict in the decades ahead will feature ever higher stakes, more convoluted issues, and far more powerful technology. The debate is about how civilization decides to conduct itself and in whose interests.
“Cory Doctorow is one of the great context-setters of our generation,” says Tim O’Reilly. Co-editor of the acclaimed blog “Boing Boing,” Doctorow writes contemporary science fiction blending contextual insight with journalistic depth. His recent books include " For the Win"; " Makers"; and " Little Brother".

re:publica 2019 – Cory Doctorow: It's monopolies, not surveillance.
Find out more at: https://19.re-publica.com/node/32430
Surveillance capitalism isn't "rogue capitalism," it's *monopoly* capitalism: data-collection doesn't let Big Tech control our minds, but monopolies on search results and app stores do. But surveillance isn't harmless: it's deadly toxic, and has the power to destroy our lives, and it's precisely *because* data produces such poor returns to advertisers that they end up collecting so much of it.

Cory Doctorow: Hacking Politics
Computers permeate almost every aspect of our lives. To fully understand the world we live in, we must understand computers and the language of 1s and 0s they speak. The characters in Cory Doctorow's novel, "Homeland", are a group of technically able, politically-engaged teenagers who are native speakers of this language. They have the tech-savvy and know-how to do something about a system they see as corrupt, rigged, and awash in money. Although a novel, the characters represent a new political class of teenagers and twenty-somethings whose politics are not about left or right or voting booths, but a distrust of power and money. They are Occupy. They are Anonymous. Rebels with the code - and a cause.

Civil War General-Purpose Computing | Cory Doctorow | Talks at Google
Who governs digital trust?
Doctorow framed the question this way: "Computers are everywhere. They
are now something we put our whole bodies into---airplanes, cars---and
something we put into our bodies---pacemakers, cochlear implants. They
HAVE to be trustworthy."
Sometimes humans are not so trustworthy, and programs may override
you: "I can't let you do that, Dave." (Reference to the
self-protective insane computer Hal in Kubrick's film "2001." That
time the human was more trustworthy than the computer.) Who decides
who can override whom?
The core issues for Doctorow come down to Human Rights versus Property
Rights, Lockdown versus Certainty, and Owners versus mere Users.

Cory Doctorow (craphound.com) is a science fiction author, activist, and journalist. His latest book is Attack Surface, a standalone adult sequel to Little Brother. He is also the author How to Destroy Surveillance Capitalism, a nonfiction book from Medium about conspiracies and monopolies. He works for the Electronic Frontier Foundation, is a MIT Media Lab Research Affiliate, is a Visiting Professor of Computer Science at Open University, a Visiting Professor of Practice at the University of North Carolina’s School of Library and Information Science, and co-founded the UK Open Rights Group.
Damon Beres is the Editor-in-Chief of OneZero, a Medium publication about the impact of technology on people and the future. OneZero’s editorial team is also behind Debugger, a publication about gadgets, and Future Human, a science publication about the survival of our species.
Doctorow and Beres discuss surveillance capitalism, tech monopoly power, and the quest for a more open web. Weeks after the deplatforming of President Donald Trump—and with the Biden administration in the White House—the time is ripe to reexamine the power wielded by the giants of surveillance capitalism. How did corporations like Facebook, Google, and Amazon amass such power? How do we build a more open Web? What are the critics missing?

William Gibson has trained his eye on the future for decades, ever since coining the term “cyberspace” and then popularizing it in his classic speculative novel Neuromancer in the early 1980s. Cory Doctorow raved that The Peripheral is “spectacular, a piece of trenchant, far-future speculation that features all the eyeball kicks of Neuromancer.” Now Gibson is back with Agency—a science fiction thriller heavily influenced by our most current events.
William Gibson lives in Vancouver, British Columbia, with his wife. He is the author of Neuromancer, Count Zero, Mona Lisa Overdrive, Burning Chrome, Virtual Light, Idoru, All Tomorrow’s Parties, Pattern Recognition, Spook Country, Zero History, Distrust That Particular Flavor, and The Peripheral.
Cory Doctorow is a regular contributor to the Guardian, Locus, and many other publications. His award-winning novel Little Brother was a New York Times bestseller, as is its sequel, Homeland. His novella collection Radicalized was a CBC Best Fiction of 2019 selection. He lives with his family in Los Angeles.

Who governs digital trust?
Doctorow framed the question this way: "Computers are everywhere. They
are now something we put our whole bodies into---airplanes, cars---and
something we put into our bodies---pacemakers, cochlear implants. They
HAVE to be trustworthy."
Sometimes humans are not so trustworthy, and programs may override
you: "I can't let you do that, Dave." (Reference to the
self-protective insane computer Hal in Kubrick's film "2001." That
time the human was more trustworthy than the computer.) Who decides
who can override whom?
The core issues for Doctorow come down to Human Rights versus Property
Rights, Lockdown versus Certainty, and Owners versus mere Users.
