About
Cory Doctorow is a prolific writer, activist, and researcher whose work spans digital rights, copyright reform, and the societal impacts of technology. Best known for his advocacy of open access and fair use, Doctorow’s major contributions include dissecting the perils of monopolistic tech platforms and championing user autonomy through his concept of “adversarial interoperability.” His most-cited paper, *I’ve Created a Monster! (And So Can You)* (2017), with 2 citations, offers a unique annotated edition of Mary Shelley’s *Frankenstein*, weaving together scientific ethics, cautionary tales, and modern parallels to technological hubris—a testament to his interdisciplinary approach. While his citation counts are modest, Doctorow’s influence extends far beyond academia; he is a bestselling novelist, a co-editor of the blog *Boing Boing*, and a former Electronic Frontier Foundation fellow. His work has shaped public discourse on surveillance, DRM, and the commons, making him a vital voice for students and researchers exploring the intersection of technology, law, and culture.
