"Walkaway" by Cory Doctorow
About the event
In a near-future world shaped by inequality, climate crisis, and corporate power, a group of young people abandons the “default” economy and sets out to build a life beyond it. In *Walkaway*, Doctorow imagines what happens when people decide to leave the systems that govern their lives -- and what it costs to try.
Doctorow is a longtime technology journalist and digital-rights activist, and the writer who popularized “enshittification” -- his term for how online platforms gradually become worse for users as they prioritize extracting value for shareholders.
