Today author and activist Cory Doctorow will be in conversation with journalist David Dayen about his book “Monopolized”.

We will discover how monopolies control almost every aspect of our daily lives and how destructive this state of affairs truly is, not only -as David writes - for the losers [small business, consumers] but for the winners as well [the gigantic conglomerates like Apple, Google and Amazon and many lesser known holding companies or private equity players].

Cory’s critique of Shoshana Zuboff’s “The Age of Surveillance Capitalism” will serve as complimentary reading, you can do so now for free on Medium or purchase the ebook on Cory’s site.

Attendance in-world is limited to 30 avatars today. Please do come early.
