Platformization: The platform organizational form is eating the world and we can do better

My friend and researcher of the politics of tech platforms, Gianmarco Cristofari (twitter.com/GianmarcoCrist) recently had an extended in my apartment and so we thought it'd be a great opportunity to interview each other. He interviewed me here for the Institute for Network Cultures (networkcultures.org/moneylab/2024/04/10/you-sh…) to talk about my book and the left's relationship with crypto.

We spoke about how platforms are markets within markets, his book The Politics of Platformization (networkcultures.org/blog/publication/the-polit…), and the socialist history of cybernetics. While he stayed at my place he also read my book and gave some thoughts on the relations and differences between platforms and protocols in web3. We also spoke about his own reflections on his experiences being active in groups like Extinction Rebellion and their relationship with technology.
