About Those Killswitched Ukrainian Tractors

May 19, 2022 / Cory Doctorow / Articles, News, Podcast

A vintage John Deere tractor whose wheel hubs have been replaced with HAL 9000 eyes, matted over a background of the cyber-waterfall image from The Matrix.

This week on my podcast, I read a recent Medium column, About those kill-switched Ukrainian tractors, suggesting that what John Deere did to Russian looters, anyone can do to farmers, anywhere.

Big Tech Isn’t Stealing News Publishers’ Content

April 17, 2022 / Cory Doctorow / Articles, News, Podcast

A row of newspaper boxes on a lonely sidewalk; their windows are filled with the 'falling binary' Matrix waterfall effect.

This week on my podcast, I read a recent Medium column, Big Tech Isn’t Stealing News Publishers’ Content, about the calls from the news industry for tech companies to pay licensing fees for quoted news-snippets, and why this both ignores and worsens the real problem: ad-fraud.

When Automation Becomes Enforcement

April 10, 2022 / Cory Doctorow / Articles, News, Podcast

A break-glass-style fire-alarm box; it has been altered to read OVERRIDE: BREAK GLASS, and the space behind the words has been filled with a Matrix waterfall effect.

This week on my podcast, I read a recent Medium column, When Automation Becomes Enforcement, about the debate of interoperability and end-to-end encryption in the EU’s Digital Markets Act, and how that relates to the long-running battle over who’s in charge: you, or your computer?

The Best Defense Against Rubber-Hose Cryptanalysis

April 3, 2022 / Cory Doctorow / Articles, News, Podcast

A medieval engraving of a prisoner being tortured on a rack; in the background is a waterfall effect from The Matrix.

This week on my podcast, I read a recent Medium column, The Best Defense Against Rubber-Hose Cryptanalysis, which explores the contradiction at the heart of Bitcoin advocacy.

The Byzantine Premium

March 27, 2022 / Cory Doctorow / Articles, News, Podcast

A pumpkin pie with a slice missing. The pie has been overlaid with a pie-chart, in which the pieces are labelled with an icon of a confused businessman, a dollar sign, a circle with the word 'NEW!' in the middle, and a 'lotto' logo. The tin beneath the missing slice reveals a section of a glittering Bitcoin.

This week on my podcast, I read a recent Medium column, The Byzantine Premium, which explores the contradiction at the heart of Bitcoin advocacy.

What is “Peak Indifference?”

March 21, 2022 / Cory Doctorow / Articles, News, Podcast

A silhouette of a shrugging man in front of a wildfire.

This week on my podcast, I read a recent Medium column, What is “Peak Indifference?” in which I explain my theory of how we change – or fail to change – in the face of wicked problems.

Vertically Challenged

March 13, 2022 / Cory Doctorow / Articles, News, Podcast

A 'big brain' Talosian alien from 'The Cage,' the 1965 pilot for Star Trek: the original series; the alien's face has been replaced with Mark Zuckerberg's.

This week on my podcast, I read my latest Locus column, Vertically Challenged, about “how and why to break up Big Tech.”

All (Broadband) Politics Are Local

March 6, 2022 / Cory Doctorow / Articles, News, Podcast

Farmers and co-op members assisting professional telephone pole installers raise a rural phone pole, with rope and pulleys, 1930s.

This week on my podcast, I read a recent Medium column, All (Broadband) Politics Are Local, about the near-miraculous shift in the political will to provide universal fiber to all Americans, and what you can do to spur this process on.

We Should Not Endure a King

February 27, 2022 / Cory Doctorow / Articles, News, Podcast

Cartoon depiction of John D. Rockefeller wearing a crown with the names of rail lines that he effectively controlled.

This week on my podcast, I read a recent Medium column, We Should Not Endure a King: Antitrust is a political cause, not an economic one, addressed to leftists who are skeptical of antitrust as a market-based solution that implictly accepts markets as the legitimate arbiter of our social relations.
