Cory Doctorow's 'Enshittification' Picked for UCSB Reads 2027
Original: Cory Doctorow’s ‘Enshittification’ is UCSB Reads 2027 Book
Cory Doctorow's book 'Enshittification' has been selected as the UCSB Reads 2027 book, meaning the University of California, Santa Barbara will build its annual campus-wide reading program around it, with discussions, events and free access for students and the community. The book examines how online platforms degrade the quality of their services over time in pursuit of profit, a theme that has resonated widely in debates about Big Tech.
Why now: The selection of a high-profile critique of tech platforms for a major university reading program is fresh news that reignites debate about technology and capitalism.
