My ebooks and audiobooks (from FSGxMCD, Tor Books, Head of Zeus, McSweeneys, Beacon, Verso and others) are for sale all over the net, but I sell 'em too, and when you buy 'em from me, I earn twice as much and you get books with no DRM and no license "agreements."

Ottawa International Writers Festival

Enshittification

8:00pm, Saturday Oct 25 at Library and Archives Canada in Ottawa — "Remember when the internet was young and alive, vibrant and accessible and free? Cory Doctorow does, and he knows what’s gone wrong—and he sees a way forward. This is a magnificent book." - James Gleick
  1. Cory Doctorow: Enshittification - Granville Island Stage - Vancouver - Oct 23, 2025
EVENT DESCRIPTION At last, a word has been coined that encapsulates our modern era, that eloquently sums up the pressing issues of our times: Enshittification. The term—which creator Cory Doctorow describes as a diagnosis about the state of exploitative online services, and the disheartening digital world as a whole—resonated so strongly that the American Dialect Society named it the 2023 Word of the Year, and it was cited as an inspiration for the 2025 season of Black Mirror. With incisive urgency as well as humour, Doctorow will speak with author and political commentator David Moscrop about how we reached this point, and what we can collectively do to move beyond hopelessness about our enshittified fate, and back toward the optimism promised by the earliest days of the internet.  Presented in partnership with Raincoast Books.  ACCESSIBILITY INFO We do our best to make our events low-barrier, accessible experiences for our community. If you have accessibility needs or questions, please reach out to our Festival Box Office by emailing boxoffice@writersfest.bc.ca or phoning 778-658-0462, Mon - Thurs 11am - 3pm.  We have not arranged for this event to include ASL interpretation.

The pace of landings and departures is most certainly very reduced. Normally they'd let planes take off when a plane is landing, but from listening, as soon as a plane is on final approach, basically everyone just stops and waits for them to land and get off the runway, before anyone else moves. (i.e. better safe than sorry). #Burbank
