The Golden Cage

By Max Sorain

The cage is comfortable. The food is excellent. The bars are tastefully arranged. And the door - there is a door, technically - opens only from one side.
In The Golden Cage, the modern platform economy is examined not as a collection of products but as a system: a deliberate architecture of convenience, dependency, and extraction that has quietly replaced the open infrastructure of the early internet with a series of walled gardens controlled by a handful of companies answerable to no one.
Part economic history, part cultural diagnosis, part call to action.
