Show HN: E is for ENSHITTIFICATION – An illustrated children's book on big tech

https://www.evanshunt.com/enshittification/
12•ar_turnbull•1h ago
My team wrote and illustrated a satirical toddler board book on the topic of Enshittification — perfect for tech professionals, savvy toddlers, and tired adults alike.

A is for Algorithms. B is for Billionaire. C/D is for Cory Doctorow.

Thought y'all might be interested. There's a free PDF or you can request a copy for future print runs. Would love to hear what you think.

A little more background:

Around this time last year I shared a talk on Enshittification, discussing what it means for design and technology professionals. Somehow it ended up being the #1 talk of the conference... so my team got to talking about how to build on it.

We felt like a children's book was just the right mix of irreverence, cheekiness, and fun to make this complex, systems-level topic more accessible to people.

The team had a lot of fun putting it together. And it's been a surprisingly useful tool for connecting with like-minded individuals in tech.

My fav letter: X (which of course, is for Twitter — RIP sweet bird)

Most difficult letter: K (after many discussions, we landed on K-shaped economy)

Longest word: Verschlimbessern (borrowed from Pavel Samsonov of The Product Picnic... the German's have the best words)
