The Internet Con isn’t just an analysis of where enshittification comes from: it’s a detailed, shovel-ready policy prescription for halting enshittification, throwing it into reverse and bringing back the old, good internet.
How do we do that? With interoperability: the ability to plug new technology into those crapulent, decaying platform.
Cory Doctorow is an author with some books that advocate against surveillance, *involved with EFF, etc. He does other things but not sure what off top of my head. I just finished reading Little Brother, starting Homeland soon.
Thanks OP for posting, I had no idea. Grabbed a signed copy.
I subscribe to Libro so might get the audiobook with a credit instead.
@purplecactus Glad that this thread was useful. I became interested when I stumbled across the blog post myself. I haven’t kept up with Doctorow, though I also think Little Brother was worth the time reading.
There could be a book club thread on this forum when the book gets released in September.
