What is our conception of Doctorow?
What is "The Internet Con" about and is the analysis somewhat right or stuck at interoperability ask without power or means to facilitate that?
Is Chokepoint Capitalism leftists or a tech utopian collection of pre-existing thought?

Chokepoint capitalism is just his little re-writing of late stage capitalism, financial capitalism, crony capitalism, etc.

Certainly felt like it.
