Enshittification and the Rot Economy: A Deep Dives Conversation with Cory Doctorow and Ed Zitron

10/22/2025 07:00 PM PT
Join Cory Doctorow (Enshittification), Ed Zitron (Better Offline), and moderator Whitney Beltrán for a discussion of how reckless tech policy created an enshittogenic environment that allowed the worst people in our most structurally important corporations to turn them into vast, remorseless extraction machines, without facing any government, market, technological or labor consequences - and to learn how we can build a new, good internet that will serve as the nervous system for a 21st century where we are confronting genocide, environmental collapse and fascism.

The Deep Dives conversation series brings speculative fiction authors to Seattle for conversations with local and international experts on the real-world intersections of sci-fi and science and how each can inspire and inform the other.
