Fixing Big Tech

Big Tech is watching us, plugging our behaviors into hidden algorithms and then serving up a digital experience customized just for us. It's a little... creepy. But it's more than that, according to blogger, journalist and science fiction author Cory Doctorow. He writes, "I believe that getting tech right matters and that getting it wrong will be an unmitigated catastrophe." Right now, he says, we're getting it wrong. He joins us for a deep dive into the many problems of Big Tech, and how to fix them.

Doctorow's forthcoming novel is Attack Surface.
