The Internet Con by Cory Doctorow--While I generally agree with the arguments Doctorow makes here about interoperability and copyright/DMCA overreach, he makes sweeping dismissals of legitimate counterarguments in largely unappealing ways. I get that this is a short book by a small publisher, but spending just a page or two on each of the counterarguments you're choosing to present doesn't let you tackle the best version of those arguments, it's an easy recipe for strawmanning, which is present here in spades. Sideways thumb.
