not saying the book is bad, more like pointless. despite the title, it just tells you about how the internet is NOT for the people (anymore?) has it ever been?). there's mentione on some good alternatives on different levels, but noting more. the seems vaguely radical, but the total lack of any mention of praxis or discussion around praxis make him sound just like any other reformist at the end of the day. so, yeah, disappointed.

not sure
3 stars
i mean, loads of anti-fantasy and anti-imperialist talk, but this story doesn't really do much beside changing the ethnicity of the characters. the key problems are still there and they dont seem to have been dealt with. there is almost an reformist vibe as well in the whole book. not sure what i've just read tbf.
