Cory Doctorow’s non-fiction writing focuses on digital rights, internet economics, and the relationship between creators and corporations. Information Doesn’t Want to Be Free (2014) examined copyright in the digital age. Chokepoint Capitalism (2022), co-authored with Rebecca Giblin, analyzed how tech and media companies use their market position to squeeze creators.
The Internet Con (2023) argued for interoperability as a solution to platform monopolies. His 2025 book Enshittification expanded his widely discussed concept of how platforms degrade into a full-length treatment. Earlier works like Essential Blogging (2002) and Content (2008) documented the evolution of online publishing.
