The award-winning novelist and veteran tech activist Cory Doctorow has written millions of words in his nearly four-decade career. Now he's best known for a single one: "Enshittification." How did he get here? My profile:

Recently, I received some devastating news: my oldest friends were going on golf trips — without me. Was this my own personal male loneliness crisis? I went to golf bootcamp to try to stave off becoming a solitary weirdo who spends too much time on YouTube.

Have you, computer job haver, ever wondered who is watching all of these 2, 3, 4 and even 5 hour podcasts? So did I, so I investigated. The answer is complicated!

Men are reading fewer novels than ever. Is this part of a gendered historical-social dialectic, an epiphenomenon of the male loneliness crisis, or a sign that corporate wokeness has ruined mass culture? Depends whom you ask!

This is a really terrific, deeply thoughtful reckoning with personal and public/political history and the murky gray zone between international law and anything that can satisfyingly be called justice — by

My father was a Nazi hunter, until he was killed in the Lockerbie bombing, when I was four. Now, a man will stand trial for the crime. What does it mean, after nearly forty years, to seek justice for the crimes of history? My new cover story for the Times Magazine:

For the weekend, I considered what we’re really talking about when we talk about the “manosphere”:

In case anyone hasn't read it, this is the definitive 2010s story. The NYC private school, the marketing job, the clothing line, the job as a stripper, the sleazy, crack-addicted boyfriend, the Tribeca art gallery, the new home decor line--it has everything. Perfect.
