Canadian-British science fiction writer and digital rights activist (Toronto, 1971), the rare case where both halves feed each other: the activism gives the fiction its material (Radicalizado is four politics-of-technology problems wearing story costumes) and the fiction gives the activism its reach. EFF veteran, co-editor of Boing Boing for years, now blogging daily at Pluralistic, and the man who coined “enshittification” for what platforms do to themselves, word of the year 2023 for the American Dialect Society.
