Unauthorized Bread
Radicalized, Novella 1
Creator(s): Cory Doctorow |
Medium: book |
Date Reviewed: 26 July 2024
Rating: ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is one novella in Doctorow’s “Radicalized” collection, so I guess I could wait until I read all four and review them together, but I’d rather do four separate reviews.
This story is so, so good. It’s an excellent anti-DRM screed and a compelling example of the social harms that can be done by technology to marginalized groups.
Reading this back in 2019 is what got me (back) into Doctorow’s fiction, because it’s a perfect example of what he does best. I love this story, and I assign an excerpt from it to my students in one class every time I teach it.

Reading Cory Doctorow’s “radicalized,” and it’s great so far. Funny how a story like “Unauthorized Bread” can make me angry in a way that reading news stories and blog posts on the same subject just can’t compete with.
