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.

I can’t say I’ve read all his content but Little Brother and Homeland are good examples of how technology can help aid in fascism. Sure it’s a little over the top but it made me more aware of how corporations can be used to overstep our rights and privacy. You’re free to hate on him all you want but the truth is he’s actually doing something to push back and make us all aware instead of just saying to just be okay with it.

What has he done besides write a poor imitation of 1984?
I think you mean the X files
