Isn’t that the point though? The book enshittifies
Comment on Cory Doctorow New Book: Enshitification

The first half of the book is great.
The second half has ads that take up more and more of the page until you reach a page that is just ads and a QR code.
When you scan the code, it takes you to a page asking you to rate the book and pay a subscription for the remaining pages.
(If you rate five stars, they send a 10% discount code to your email and add you to a newsletter list without an unsubscribe button.)

Just a touch too close to reality. That was a beyond-awesome reply.

Do you have any screenshots? And is it the retail version or is it some early version? Retail’s supposed to only come out in October.

Honestly believable though. What better way to be subversive.
