Big Overstudies, Shitification, and the Role of Contingency

In this episode of DWeb Decoded, we sit down with Cory Doctorow, renowned science fiction author, journalist, and advocate for a free and open internet. We delve into the intricacies of digital publishing, the challenges and opportunities of decentralization, and the vital role of adversarial interoperability in shaping the future of the web. Important clarification: During this episode, we erroneously said Jessamyn West leads the Flickr Foundation. George Oates actually leads the Flickr Foundation, and Jessamyn West is the Community Manager of Flickr Commons.
