Cory Doctorow's Enshittification hardcover book on a dark brown place mat. The cover shows a swearing poop emoji and the title and author in white sans-serif letters.

To the left, a small wintery LED light, and to the right a beige, almost empty coffee mug that says "stay wild". — Cory Doctorow's Enshittification hardcover book on a dark brown place mat.

Years ago, my Mother-in-law began reading, "The Exorcist". She said it was the most evil book she ever read. So evil in fact, she couldn't finish it, took it over to the beach and threw it into the ocean off a fishing pier.

| went and bought another copy, ran the faucet over it and left it in the night table drawer by her bed. My Father-in-law said that night was the first time she ever screamed and fainted.

Review by crig Dec 16, 2025

Challenging and compelling
"If you are looking for something different from the usual inkitt offerings, try this. If you are looking for something with a very original storyline, indeed, quite unlike anything else you might have read, try this.
As it is written in a very readable style, what are you waiting for?
Style Give it a go.

A Palestinian woman I'm in contact with has been writing since she was a child and has written a book in English about her sufferings. It's almost done and she asked me if I thought there was any way for it to be published. Does anyone have suggestions for her ? Any way she could be ready by people?
