The Cory Doctorow Interview - Part I

Acclaimed science fiction author, activist, and journalist Cory Doctorow stops by Gaslit Nation to discuss life's important issues: A.I., combating corporate greed, and the art and times of Taylor Swift.

His other works include the nonfiction on monopoly and creative labor markets Chokepoint Capitalism; How to Destroy Surveillance Capitalism; the Little Brother series for younger readers; the graphic novel In Real Life; and the picture book Poesy the Monster Slayer. Doctorow was inducted into the Canadian Science Fiction and Fantasy Hall of Fame in 2020.
