SUMMARY:How Can You Think That?! Political Book Club: Enshittification\, by
  Cory Doctorow
DESCRIPTION:A book club for conservatives and liberals who want to get out 
 of their echo chambers and bridge the great divide. Buy the book\, read it\
 , and come join us for a lively discussion. This month's book is Enshittifi
 cation\, by Cory Doctorow.\n\nAbout the Book: Enshittification: It’s not 
 just you— the internet sucks now. It’s been enshittified. That was no a
 ccident\, and it’s not gonna fix itself. Here’s how we’ll disenshitti
 fy it so we can have a new\, good internet.\n\nWe are all living through th
 e Enshittocene—the Great Enshittening—a time in which the services that
  matter to us\, that we rely on\, are being turned into giant piles of shit
 . It’s frustrating. Demoralizing. Even terrifying.\n\nThe once-glorious i
 nternet has degenerated into “platforms” that rose to dominance because
  they delivered convenient and delightful services efficiently and reliably
 . But once we were locked in\, the tech bosses turned on us\, relying on ou
 r dependency even as their services got worse and worse. The platform bosse
 s did the same to the companies that had flocked to their services to sell 
 stuff to us. Once we were all locked in—businesses and users—the tech c
 ompanies stripped out all utility\, save the bare minimum needed to stave o
 ff total collapse.\n\nhttps://www.visitcalgary.com/events/how-can-you-think
