Acerca de esta escucha

Hackers as vital disruptors, inspiring a new wave of activism in which ordinary citizens take back democracy.

Hackers have a bad reputation, as shady deployers of bots and destroyers of infrastructure. In Coding Democracy, Maureen Webb offers another view. Hackers, she argues, can be vital disruptors. Hacking is becoming a practice, an ethos, and a metaphor for a new wave of activism in which ordinary citizens are inventing new forms of distributed, decentralized democracy for a digital era. Confronted with concentrations of power, mass surveillance, and authoritarianism enabled by new technology, the hacking movement is trying to "build out" democracy into cyberspace.

Webb describes an amazing array of hacker experiments that could dramatically change the current political economy. These ambitious hacks aim to displace such tech monoliths as Facebook and Amazon; enable worker cooperatives to kill platforms like Uber; give people control over their data; automate trust; and provide citizens a real say in governance, along with capacity to reach consensus. Coding Democracy is not just another optimistic declaration of technological utopianism; instead, it provides the tools for an urgently needed upgrade of democracy in the digital era.

I really picked this one up because the forward was from Cory Doctorow, whom I think quite highly of. I didn't care for the narration, it reminded me a lot of getting the Kindle to read an ebook to me. In the first part of the book the author mentions this book is aimed to bridge the gap for non-technical folks. In some cases I think she does a good job, in others I think less technical folks eyes would glass over. I still got a ton of notes out of the book. I really enjoyed the section where she interview Yochai Benkler. Didn't know of him before this but a totally neat character. Sadly some of the open source projects mentioned in this book are pretty well defunct. Overall not bad, I'd probably just read it and not do the audiobook version.

It's okay

Good story and overall compelling, could've had higher volume available since I work in a loud environment, but overall good.

good, needed volume
