| Opplysninger | Enshittification explores the growing dominance of tech giants and their exploitative practices, which prioritize profit over user and customer value. Cory Doctorow delves into the concept of enshittification, a term he uses to describe the economic mechanisms that lead to the degradation of online platforms. The book provides a critical analysis of how these companies operate and offers actionable solutions, including antitrust laws, regulation, and collective action, to counteract their monopolistic tendencies. This work serves as a rallying cry for those who wish to reclaim the internet and ensure a fairer digital future.. - Forlagets beskrivelse: "As a handful of giant tech companies have become the dominant gatekeepers of commerce and culture, they’ve made a lot of things convenient. But their platforms have also become exploitative, extracting more and more value from their users and customers while giving less and less in return. This phenomenon is called enshittification, and it’s the result of a fatal economic logic that drives these companies to exploit us for their own gain. In this book, Cory Doctorow explains how enshittification works, and how we can resist it. He shows how we can use the tools of antitrust law, regulation, and collective action to fight back against the tech monopolies and build a better internet. Enshittification is a powerful call to arms for anyone who cares about the future of the internet and the future of our society."
