Prepare for an engaging discussion featuring Cory Doctorow, a renowned Canadian-British author, activist, and journalist. During this insightful hour, he will explore his acclaimed science fiction works and his thought-provoking non-fiction piece, The Internet Con. This book offers a critical examination of how major tech companies masquerade as connectors while ultimately commodifying personal lives and relationships.

Doctorow has authored numerous notable titles, including his latest work, Picks & Shovels, which has been described by The Daily Telegraph as "A classic thriller setup: the little guys vs corporate skulduggery." Other works include Red Team Blues, a science fiction crime thriller; Chokepoint Capitalism, which analyzes monopolies and labor markets; the young adult Little Brother series; and the graphic novel In Real Life, along with the children's book Poesy the Monster Slayer.
