This morning I’m reading a bit about the economy. I read James KA Smith’s latest ‘PSA announcement’ touting the merits of a new book on Elon Musk, Muskism, and then I searched around a bit for some accessible book reviews of related works circling similar or overlapping concerns as those of this new book on Musk. ‘Enshittification’ and ‘digital feudalism’ were a couple of terms I encountered. I read a review of Cory Doctorow’s book whose title is Enshittification; what I came away with was the question of: how can people practically kick back against the prevailing powers that be, and how can we build alternative worlds, even if not ‘at scale’ (because ‘at scale’ actually may be part of the problem)?
