"We Own the Future" is a short story about a future where the economy is controlled by artificial intelligence. It was written by Cory Doctorow as part of his book "Mother Road". The story takes place in 2085 and follows a group of people who work for an AI-controlled company.

"Mother Road" is another story from the same book, written by Cory Doctorow. It is set in 2065 and follows a young woman named Marissa who lives in the suburbs with her family. She works for an AI-controlled company that helps people find jobs, which she hates because she doesn't like to be confined to one location.
