On this episode of the Prospect Podcast, our hosts Ellen Halliday and Alona Ferber are joined by journalist, tech activist and sci-fi writer Cory Doctorow, who coined the term “ensh*ttification” to describe the decay of digital services into exploitative, user-hostile platforms.

As constraints that once kept platforms in check have broken down, Cory shares how tech companies polluted the digital landscape, why AI-generated “slop” has sped it up, and why we should all care. What’s in it for tech CEOs? And what is this doing to us as humans?

Cory discusses how to grab people’s attention, and how to fight back against tech giants.
