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 โ€“ because Amazon refuses to sell my audio.

Weirdly enough, I went to a book store one time, picked up one of his newer books, didn't think I'd like it from the summary, but I read the first few pages and was hooked. Had to leave so I figured I would read the rest by downloading from libgen.is...

First time I've felt significantly disappointed not being able to read a book :'(
