I do not know what comes after the recognition. The broader public directs its outrage at whatever the algorithm surfaces […] while the structural rearrangement of their economic lives proceeds without organized resistance.

I wish I knew the answer to this question: What shape would organized resistance have in this day and age, especially with the fragmentation of reality caused by social media?

Myself and almost everyone in my social circles under the age of 50 seem well-primed to participate in such organized resistance, were it to come to life.

Have any public library systems ever tried to partner with Standard Ebooks to help improve the discoverability and accessibility of classics for ebook users?

It would be neat to see those editions show up in when browsing collections in apps like Libby or Overdrive (at least in the U.S.).
