Another book reccomendation. I just finished
npub1hykucplphuhelaxutcw4jw3vuu7gcg42czhqmk7jhchs8vdga4fsj73p33 (npub1hyk…3p33) 's "The Internet Con: How to seize the means of computation" and I would highly recommend to anyone who is sick of enshitification. Not only does he diagnose the problem (which frankly is the easy part), but Doctorow also outlines the steps we can take to FIX the problem (the harder part)
It is nice to read a political book that gives instruction and hope, rather than just doomer-ism which seems to be an easy trap to fall into.
If you're slightly interested, you can also look up his defcon presentation on YouTube which is what conviced me to read it.
