Political poems for the age of enshittification, from someone who helped build the internet and then watched it turn. We Thought These Were Modern Times is Shaun J Apple's clear-eyed survey of the platforms we now live inside and the slow rot underneath them: propaganda, subscriptions, celebrity, and the decay of the internet's early promise. Laid out like a field map-from a functional society to anti-propaganda to the actual politics of money-its authority is firsthand. Apple founded r/trees and r/gonewild and lived in the engine rooms of the platforms he now indicts. That keeps the book from becoming a rant: it knows how these systems actually work. Angry in the useful way, funny where it needs to be, and precise about what fear protects, this is protest poetry with receipts.
