I’m a simple man. I see Cory, I upvote. Then I read the text.
You can also buy and download books / audiobooks from his website https://craphound.com/ some of them are pay as you want.
For those wondering, the ebooks for Information Doesn’t Want To Be Free, With a Little Help from My Friends, and Context are pay what you’d like.
My friend was blathering on about Cory Doctorow two decades ago and I knew the name, had maybe read a little bit. I was kind of annoyed how ofter he brought him up. Man did he come out ahead of me on that. This guy articulates the ills of society so well.
He really should have called it a “Minotaur” instead of a “reverse-centaur”.
I like how Doctorow is taking guardianship for his language through no bullshit tolerance.
I couldn’t get through Enshittification. It was like reading a reference book after the first half. That said, I look forward to this one.
Mr Doctorov has a nice life where he needs to make no tough decisions. I envy a life without least-worse voting and other harm-reduction efforts, where one can write what he dreams and people will happily consume it.
Why is there always some person hating on Cory when he’s talked about? Astroturfing? He’s the person we desperately need right now and everyone needs to listen to him. And Ed.
Really? Dude has cancer and a kid in college, and yet chooses to write this. I’m pretty sure he has tough decisions. He also is very much not an uncompromising idealist, pointing to very specific solutions and dismissing others.
