Cory Doctorow’s McLuhan lecture on enshittification.
“‘IP’ is just a euphemism for ‘a law that lets me reach beyond the walls of my company and control the conduct of my critics, competitors and customers.’ And ‘app’ is just a euphemism for ‘a web-page wrapped [with] enough IP to make it a felony to mod it to protect the labor, consumer and privacy rights of its user.’”

This podcast will take listeners on a journey into the fascinating and bizarre world of Japan's johatsu, or "evaporated" people.
