This is an incredible and important interview with Cory Doctorow that's very relevant to us in the Fediverse. It's also long, so here is the summary of its many points:

"So, our project needs to be not to snuff out technology, but to figure out how to seize the means of computation, how to build a technological substrate that is responsive to people, that enables us to coordinate our will and our effort and our ethics to build a world that we want – including one with less carbon, and with less injustice, more labor rights and so on."
