More quotes by Cory Doctorow
I choose YouTube over telly.
Cory Doctorow
He hated it when adults told him he only felt the way he did because he was young. As if being young was like being insane or drunk, like the convictions he held were hallucinations caused by a mental illness that could only be cured by waiting five years.
Cory Doctorow
It's hard not to like Asimov he's a really likable guy.
Cory Doctorow
Terrorism is about magnifying one mediagenic act of violence into one hundred billion acts of terrorized authoritarian idiocy.
Cory Doctorow
Engineers are all basically high-functioning autistics who have no idea how normal people do stuff.
Cory Doctorow
Open platforms and experimental amateurs eventually beat out the spendy, slick pros. Relying on incumbents to produce your revolutions is not a good strategy. They're apt to take all the stuff that makes their products great and try to use technology to charge you extra for it, or prohibit it altogether.
Cory Doctorow
Where there's life, there's hope. Living people can change things, dead people cannot.
Cory Doctorow
Giant letters march across the dome of the sky: HOME NOT FOUND. Huw, who knows Comic Sans when she sees it, winces in mild disgust.
Cory Doctorow
I just sit down and the page just comes out and I look at it and the elements that appear on that page have a lot to do with what's going on in my life.
Cory Doctorow
What if I got hit by lightning while walking with an umbrella? Ban umbrellas! Fight the menace of lightning!
Cory Doctorow
Each generation of rabbis is necessarily less perfect than the rabbis that came before, since each generation is more removed from the perfection of the Garden. Therefore, no rabbi is allowed to overturn any of his forebears' wisdom, since they are all, by definition, smarter than him.
Cory Doctorow
It's part of a cycle of stories I'm writing where I deconstruct classic science fiction.
Cory Doctorow
Never underestimate the determination of a kid who is time-rich and cash-poor.
Cory Doctorow
It may be hard to monetize fame, but it is impossible to monetize obscurity.
Cory Doctorow
Funny, for all surveillance, Osama bin Laden is still freeĀand we're not. Guess who's winning the war on terror?
Cory Doctorow
Universal access to human knowledge is in our grasp, for the first time in the history of the world. This is not a bad thing.
Cory Doctorow
Once you get to naming your laptop, you know that you're really having a deep relationship with it.
Cory Doctorow
It's not necessarily about what career you pick. It's about how you do what you do.
Cory Doctorow
The right to freedom of association is fine, but why shouldn't the cops be allowed to mine your social network to figure out if you're hanging out with gangbangers and terrorists?
Cory Doctorow
When you teach your students that it's economically rational to commit crimes where the fines for misconduct are lower than the expected return on the crime, you instill a professional ethic that has no room for morals.
