Enshittification

This book made me angry at many points, but then it gave me hope. It's a funny, well-written guide to how the internet became so awful, and a concrete set of actions we can take to make it better again. Highly recommended to techies and normies alike.

There are plenty of reviews of this book so go read one of those instead.

This book helps to explain why almost everything on the internet---and, more generally, our capitalist world---is getting worse. There are things that can be done about it but I'm not sure that there is the political will in the world to make it happen.
