Big Tech’s Betrayal—and How to Break Free!

Saturday, October 18th

In 2022, Cory Doctorow coined the term “enshittification” to describe the cycle of decline that plagues online platforms as a result of profit-seeking. In 2024, “enshittification” was crowned Macquarie Dictionary’s Word of the Year, and with good reason: we’re seeing it play out over and over again. And in 2025, Doctorow’s book Enshittification: Why Everything Suddenly Got Worse and What to Do About It is set to be the most talked-about tech book of the year. You won’t want to miss the insights in this conversation between Doctorow and host extraordinaire Zain Velji.
