Are We Having Fun Yet?

August 2, 2021 / Cory Doctorow / Podcast

A crowd of goths in front of the Disneyland castle posed for a group photo at the 2007 'Bat's Day in the Fun Park.'

This week on my podcast, I read the first three installments in my ongoing Medium series on “amusement parks, crowd control, and load-balancing,” on what we can learn about aggregate demand management and scarcity from the history of queues at Disney theme parks.

Part I: Are We Having Fun Yet?

Part II: Boredom and its discontents

Part III: Now you’ve got two problems
