Enshittification

You could not ask for a clearer, more ambitious or better-written business book than this one. * The Financial Times *
Enshittification explains the exploitation that changed the internet and our lives. Doctorow gave us the word to describe how these companies immiserate humanity on a planetary scale * Edward Snowden *
Big Tech does not just plunder your data. It does not merely rob you of your privacy. It does something far, far worse than that. You know it. You feel it. But you won’t be able to put your finger on it until you have read Cory Doctorow’s Enshittification. Once you do, you will know and, more importantly, you will stand a better chance of resisting * Yanis Varoufakis, author of Technofeudalism *
A pointed and efficient text, driven by Doctorow’s snarky prose * Kyle Chayka, New Yorker *
