Worth noting that Sterling corrects some of his recent Morozovism in
that talk:

In particular, I was impressed by this speech because it corrected some
serious errors from Sterling's essay "The Ecuadorian Library," which, as
Danny O'Brien pointed out completely misattributed a kind of optimistic
naivete to technology activists past and present.
