@pjrm @pluralistic Chokepoint Capitalism sits on my bedside table, it's in line right after How To Do Nothing by Jenny Odell, and right before Enshittification (assuming Enshittification will arrive before I finished those two)
At least, that's the theory, since I have way too many books for the time I have!

@pluralistic I am waiting in line to read a friend's copy of Enshittification. I recently read Chokepoint Capitalism by Doctorow and Giblin. A read to awaken us all

@Firesphere @pjrm @pluralistic Can also recommend "How to do nothing" by Jenny Odell! Next on my list will be a Doctorow as I'm very intrigued about all the #enshitification talk here. :)

@rikeriki @Firesphere @pjrm @pluralistic

‘How to Do Nothing’ is a fine book. I bought it as a physical book and years later repurchased it on Libro.fm so I could listen to it. We definitely have better lives when we find contentment in sitting quietly without feeling pressured to do anything.
