Have you noticed your internet is \\u2026. kinda shitty? Does Spotfiy\\u2019s 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\\u2019s The Internet Con: How to Seize the Means of Computation. It\\u2019s a little bit history, it\\u2019s a little bit manifesto, and it\\u2019s all about one simple concept that can help us get out of this mess: interoperability.


Here with me today to discuss is the book\'s author, Cory Doctorow. Doctorow is a writer, activist, and journalist.
