    I listen attentively to pretty much anything Cory Doctorow says about the internet and technology, he’s been consistently insightful as hell on the subject. His books are also pretty good.

      Not only that, but many of his books are freely available epubs with no DRM. You can read them and decide if you like his style before going on to buy the others.

      What book of his would you recommend reading first?

        Radicalized is a really good collection of shorter works. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radicalized_(Doctorow_book)

        I quite liked Walkaway, but I’ve got kind of an anarchist bent myself, so.

        I liked Little Brother. Didn’t get into Homeland as much though.
