Acclaimed SF writer, blogger and commentator Cory Doctorow looks at the perils and opportunities of this brave new world. The Wheeler Centre is a new kind of cultural institution, dedicated to the discussion and practice of writing, books and ideas.

  2. What Would an Evidence-Based Copyright Law Look Like?

    Copyright laws are declared to be the underpinnings of creativity, innovation, the knowledge economy, and everything short of curing the sick and feeding the poor. Can copyright laws do all these wonderful things, or are they, in Ian Hargreaves’ words, the result of lobbynomics?

  3. Meanland - reading without privacy

    Today, we’re all reading and writing more than ever, on text messages, on Twitter and on Facebook. But has social networking broken down the distinction between our public and our private lives? What are the rules for writing in forms that are so intimate and entirely open?

    Jonathan Green, Alison Croggon, Jeff Sparrow and Sophie Cunningham discuss whether we tweet as ourselves or as representatives of our employers, and ask: is new media helping us work differently or just work harder?
