I really enjoyed this book. I was a bit skeptical at first, because the plight of people in the creative industry hasn't previously caught my attention. However, Doctorow and Giblin do a good job of using creatives to illustrate a larger problem of how corporations use anti-competitive measures to build chokepoints accrue dominant status in almost any given market, at the expense of both labor and the consumer. This book has given me a lot to think about.

I expected to like this more than I did. It blandly assumes "empire" is a good thing and equates imperialism with civilization, while simultaneously equating the old Empire with decay. This is an unsophisticated approach that should have been apparent even in Asimov's time.

This book helped me realize the asymmetric nature of targeted state surveillance. An advanced threat only needs to find one mistake made by an activist or journalist to compromise their security.
I also really appreciated how Doctorow characterized technology not as magic solution to problems, but just as a tool activists can use to try and fix politics. This is absolutely correct.
