Is everything worse than it used to be?
Join us as we welcome esteemed author Cory Doctorow to Mid-Continent Public Library to discuss his new book Enshittification: Why Everything Suddenly Got Worse and What to Do About It. This raved-about book discusses how social media, computer software programs, large online retailers, and many other integral parts of our lives have slowly become inferior products by design and ways we can combat this degradation.
Free copies of Enshittification will be available while supplies last. There will be an author meet-and-greet following the event.
