"A vivid and entertaining polemic on the economics of the tech revolution, filled with righteous ire."
Dorian Lynskey,
"We live in a jungle of new tools and new fables about them - and It's genuinely confusing. Utopians battle it out with dystopians and the rest of us oscillate between awe and shock. We search for reliable guides who can tell us what's going on and where it might take us. Cory Doctorow is the most lucid and generous guide I know of, and this book - ostensibly about AI, but more broadly about the new world of hyper-capitalism and high tech - is stunning in its clarity and breadth of vision. In trying to keep some kind of grasp on what is going on in the world, I read Doctorow obsessively."
