That talk is so awesome. I still watch it about once a year, just because it is so much fun to listen to. It is also slightly depressing in how right he is - back then I thought the guy was sounding kind of paranoid, but with every passing year and every new wave of hype (the cloud(TM), IoT, "Industrie 4.0", ...), and with every case of stuff like Superfish, I think of that talk and cannot help thinking that he was right all along. (It is a lot of fun to listen to, though, Doctorow is a great speaker!)
