Cory Doctorow's new tech crime thriller takes us back to the days of Yahoo!

from The BetaKit Podcast Channel

"The thing that makes noir fiction noir is the detective is presented as an unlicensed cop who goes to the places the cops can't go and asks the questions the cops can't ask to solve the crimes the cops can't solve. But by the end, he is reminded very forcefully that these were in fact places the cops didn't want to go." Canadian journalist and author Cory Doctorow joins to discuss his new tech crime thriller The Bezzle, and how understanding the early Web 2.0 era can show us both where we are and where we're going. Sponsored by Mastercard Canada. On March 27, join Mastercard Canada's SVP of Product and Solutions, Darell MacMullin, for a BetaKit Live fireside conversation to discuss how emerging tech, open banking, and evolving cybersecurity challenges are set to impact the future of financial innovation.
