Review: Chokepoint Capitalism – Rebecca Giblin and Cory Doctorow (Scribe).
This book speaks to a disenchanted present.
The heady days of internet 2.0, with its anarchic disruption, empowered
prosumers, flat hierarchies and sharing economies, are well behind us now. So
too is the glamour of start-ups and creative entrepreneurs, remaking the self
through pure willpower while transforming capitalism from the inside out, one
almond latte at a time.
In
Chokepoint Capitalism, Rebecca Giblin and Cory Doctorow have added their
detailed knowledge of corporate practice and their legal-technical web-weaving
to the growing body of critical work on Big Tech and the stark realities of
creative work. The result is a dark portrait of a cultural system captured by
billionaires."
