"Conversation is king. Content is just something to talk about."
Cory Doctorow is a Canadian-British author, journalist, and digital rights activist whose work has shaped modern debates on technology, monopoly power, and the open internet. He has served as European Director of the Electronic Frontier Foundation and co-founded the UK Open Rights Group, making him one of the most influential advocates for online civil liberties in both Europe and North America.
He is also the editor of Pluralistic and the author of recent nonfiction works such as Enshittification and Picks and Shovels, in which he examines how digital platforms extract value, how monopolies are maintained, and how creators and users can reclaim power over their data and attention.
"Cory Doctorow doesn’t just write about the future—I think he lives there." — Kelly Link
