Cory Doctorow's New Book Explains How to Burst the AI Bubble by Striking at Its Roots

In his new book "The Reverse Centaur's Guide to Life After AI," author Cory Doctorow introduces the concept of "reverse centaurs"—humans who serve as dehumanized peripherals to machines, like Amazon delivery drivers monitored by AI cameras. The book is a follow-up to his earlier work "Enshittification" and aims to separate AI hype from reality. Doctorow argues that to burst the AI bubble, society must target the power structures that exploit workers and prioritize machine control over human dignity.
