The Internet Con by Cory Doctorow
(lemmy.world)
I'm currently reading this book and found it to be quite accessible even for someone who's not very tech-savvy (me). I think people of lemmy may appreciate its discussions of how to break up the big techs, the way big techs keep users by essentially holding them hostage, etc. I'm also a huge fan of its publisher (Verso) :)
Hey, I recognize that name!
Just grabbed the audiobook from my local library.
Have a summary of what you’ve read so far? Found a short review. And a longer one from AP.
He has been in the blogosohere for a long time, and wears a cape in xkcd lore.
So he's the guy. Ok, I'm interested in what he has to say. Before we had the word it was just an uneasy feeling that everything keeps getting worse. Now it's much easier to think about the unstoppable enshittification march big companies insist on.
