Douglas Reid Ashcroft

Douglas Reid Ashcroft is a British-Canadian writer, essayist, and reliable annoyance to anyone who has ever used the word "synergy" without shame. He writes about systems — economic, technological, cultural — and what they do to people who aren't paying attention. His work has been called essential. It has been called exhausting. Both are accurate. He lives in Ottawa, which suits him just fine. He is currently working on something. It will be done when it's done.
