Why does it feel like our favorite apps keep getting worse? Why do phones barely improve year to year? Why does the internet feel less open, less fun, and less innovative than it used to?
This month’s Science Read dives into Cory Doctorow’s Enshittification—a sharp, accessible look at how tech platforms decay over time and what we can actually do to fix it. Doctorow argues that the problem isn’t bad CEOs or bad vibes…it’s bad policy. And that means we can change it.

🧬 Why This Book Matters for Science and Innovation
Doctorow argues that enshittification isn’t just annoying—it slows scientific progress. When APIs close, when data access disappears, when companies buy competitors instead of innovating, the cost of doing science rises and the pace of discovery falls. This book offers a roadmap for rebuilding a healthier, more innovative digital ecosystem
