@francispakes.bsky.social has just published a wonderful review of my book The Crimes of Digital Capitalism (better than the book itself! 😅).
If the book were even half as good as Francis makes it sound, you wouldn’t waste a second before reading it 😉

The Crimes of Digital Capitalism was reviewed in the Journal of White Collar and Corporate Crime.
What I said about Big Tech feels even truer, worse, under rising technofascism.

Still, this book may help in the struggles ahead.
