I have a (free) new book out! "How to Destroy Surveillance Capitalism" is an anti-monopolist critique of Big Tech that connects the rise of conspiratorial thinking to the rise of tech monopolies and proposes a way to deal with both: https://onezero.medium.com/how-to-destroy-surveillance-capitalism-8135e6744d598/

My first picture book just came out! It's called Poesy the Monster Slayer and it's an epic tale of bedtime-refusal, toy-hacking and monster-hunting, illustrated by Matt Rockefeller. It's the monster book I dreamt of reading to my own daughter.https://pluralistic.net/2020/07/14/poesy-the-monster-slayer/#poesy12/

@pluralistic Pisses me off about MEC bc I'm a member, and we weren't consulted b4 the sale. It's a real estate play, the buyer doesn't care about the business at all.
