Econ-SciFi Reading Group | Episode 1 | Cory Doctorow's 'Walkaway' by edgeryders published on 2018-09-12T17:18:01Z In our debut reading group discussion, we focus on the economic system described in Cory Doctorow's Walkaway and the kind of society it supports. Our conversation centres around the following key points: — Is the Walkaway economy a good fit for the Walkaway society? Why? — Do you think the Walkaway economy was consciously designed by Walkaways? Did it emerge? — Would you see yourself living in this kind of economy? Would you like to? Why? — Do you think an economy like the walkaway economy could sustain itself in the real world? In which conditions? — Can you think of real-world arrangements that remind you of the walkaway economy? If you haven't read Doctorow's book, we suggest a quick overview of some of the key concepts discussed, by our very own Alberto Cottica: https://edgeryders.eu/t/the-first-reading-group-meeting-is-coming-up-info-and-cheatsheet/8863/10 For more on the Edgeryders Econ-Scifi seminar, check out the ER group: https://edgeryders.eu/c/research-network/econ-scifi Genre Technology
