johannrichard 's review for:
Attack Surface
by Cory Doctorow
An important book to read. As Cory writes:
“To make lasting structural changes, you need to use technology to change politics.”
and
“Technology cannot substitute for a just society, but it can help you create that society.”
This novel, although science fiction in may ways, can help us understand what the world might become if we don’t learn to use the technologies we’ve developed to create these just societies. Or, as Ron Deibert (Citizen Lab, Toronto) wrote: “Some science fiction is meant to alert us to possible worlds we may come to inhabit if we continue unreflectively on our current path of technological development.”
