About This Book
New York Times bestselling author of Enshittification Cory Doctorow presents Unauthorized Bread—a near-future dystopian graphic novel about how we use our technology...and how it uses us.
Salima’s new high-tech apartment building seems ideal, until she and her neighbors discover it’s designed to enforce inequality. Elevators discriminate by income, appliances extract revenue. The fridge won't chill unauthorized groceries. The toaster won't toast unauthorized bread.
When the company that makes these electronic "conveniences" goes under, they stop working altogether. Salima must lead a dangerous jailbreaking effort, training a child army who liberate the building's appliances, even those hated elevators. But this group of disenfranchised young immigrants will have to risk everything.
Cory Doctorow is one of our most incisive and imaginative thinkers about technology, and Unauthorized Bread is both propulsive dystopian adventure and a chilling warning about the cost of surrendering control to technology.
