How did we go from an internet that felt flourishing, nourishing and interesting to one where just four or five companies command almost all our attention? We're not going to be able to answer that question in just one episode. To get us started, we have some one on the show this week who has been there since the very beginning: Cory corey. He's also one of the founders of creative commons and was an incredibly important part of the fights for net neutrality and the right to repair our technology. So without further ado, please enjoy my interview with coryCorey.
The early Internet was open, exciting, and deeply optimistic. So how did we end up, just a few decades later, with one that’s closed, exploitative, and makes most of us incredibly depressed? Longtime Internet gadfly and author of How to Destroy Surveillance Capitalism, Cory Doctorow, joins Adam to break down how the Internet has changed for the worse, and what we can do about it.
