A comment to add to this talk: WAIS is no longer a thing (at least as far as I was able to find) and as of June 2023 The Library of Congress' z39.50 public catalog access is being shrunk to only between computers at the actual site. Gopher/Gemini is a great place to be though. Beats the heck out of the bloated side of the www.
Super informative; loved it .. have a ton of things to research from this video. My only issue was his usage of the term "surveillance capitalism"; seemed like a bit of a misnomer to me. I think a more accurate term to describe what he was referring to would be "globalism."
