2030: A Day in the Life of Tomorrow's Kids | Amy Zuckerman, James Daly

repost for @Librarybelle

Today starts the new #192030 challenge!

Thanks to everyone who participated in #192025 . It was so much fun that I brought it back. The only rule is to read one book originally published each year, from 1920 to 2030.

Feel free to use the official hashtag. I also hashtag the pub year on Litsy in case anyone wants inspiration.

Link to the Storygraph tracker is below.

What a great listen 😊 So much to think about and remember. I‘ll probably buy the paperback when it‘s released just so I can reference it.

Enshittification: Why Everything Suddenly Got Worse and What to Do About It | Cory Doctorow

Enshitification is Doctorow‘s very satisfying word for what tech companies do. First, create a great product to lure and lock in users. Then, change the product to benefit businesses/advertisers at the expense of users. Then, change it again to screw the businesses and benefit shareholders. It‘s an infuriating book that‘ll make you feel like you need a forever shower, but he does include some hope at the end.

squirrelbrain I had this reserved on audio at the library but then #ToB happened so I had to send it back! 😜 1mo

AlaMich But I feel like these days this word could apply to so many other things besides tech, sadly. 1mo

Hooked_on_books @AlaMich He actually does get into that a little bit. And it‘s unsurprising. If one sector of business is doing something a certain way at a certain point in time, it makes sense others would as well. I know from using them for my business that FedEx is decidedly enshitified. 1mo

TEArificbooks I have been inside his old house, the one in the movie. They used to do tours and you could rent it as an event space. He has a huge garage with a big car collection. He doesn‘t live there anymore. Too many fans visiting. I drive by it every time we go to Olive Garden. 1mo

Bookwormjillk @TEArificbooks interesting! 1mo
