Cory Doctorow is a science fiction novelist, journalist, and technology activist. He is also a regular contributor for The New York Times, Popular Science, and Wired. He is a special consultant to the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), a nonprofit civil liberties group that defends freedom in technology law, policy, standards, and treaties. His novels have been translated into dozens of languages, and he has won the Locus, Prometheus, Copper Cylinder, White Pine, and Sunburst Awards, and been nominated for the Hugo, Nebula, and British Science Fiction Awards.
Doctorow will explore policy proposals that law librarians can initiate and support to halt and reverse the decay of online services that we rely on professionally, personally, and as citizens. Doctorow will draw on themes laid out in his recent bestseller, The Internet Con: How to Seize the Means of Computation, which explores the policy choices that produced today’s rapidly degrading digital world.
