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.

Here with me today to discuss is the book's author, Cory Doctorow. Doctorow is a writer, activist, and journalist. We’re recording CYBER live on Twitch . Watch live during the week.
