It’s not your imagination: The internet *suuuucks* now. The enshittification of our digital world isn’t the result of great historical forces or iron laws of economics; it’s caused by specific policy choices, made in living memory, by named individuals.
The bad news is *everything* is getting enshittified. The good news? We are not prisoners to the depraved foolishness of early 21st century policymakers. We can – and we must – break free of the prison they built for us, consigning their terrible ideas to the scrap heap of history so we can create a new, good internet that is fit to serve as the digital nervous system of this fraught young century.
Join for this Keynote from A.D. White Professor-at-Large Cory Doctorow, an acclaimed science-fiction author, activist, and journalist whose work bridges technology, policy, and human rights. Cosponsored by Cornell’s Department of History and Department of Science & Technology Studies, this talk should be a compelling call to action for anyone who dreams of reclaiming the original promise of the internet.
