#BookRec ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Internet Con by @pluralisticCory Doctorow

Ever since I was a teen and started to use/think critically about #technology , I've been a fan of Cory Doctorow. One of my favourites back in the day was Pirate Cinema, and it instilled in me a kind of ethos that is brought to light in this new book. That is to say, I read this as a kind of manifesto.

And since you're all here on the #fediverse , I'd bet you gain something from reading this.
