From the author: My next book is The Internet Con: How to Seize the Means of Computation: it’s a Big Tech disassembly manual that explains how to disenshittify the web and bring back the old good internet. The hardcover comes from Verso on Sept 5, but the audiobook comes from me – because Amazon refuses to sell my audio.

    I’ll gladly check out any books you’ve written. If you think you can do so much better than Doctorow, it must be really good stuff!

      Oh, I can’t criticize unless I’m an author is it? I can suppose you’ll hold yourself to the same standards for praise then?

      'Cause if you can’t know bad without also writing, how can you know good? Otherwise that would be an illogical double standard.

        True! But who gives a shit. Nobody here asked for your opinion about his writing. This thread isn’t even about whether it’s good. You just seem mad.
