I recently read his article about enshittification and watched an interview where he talks about "chokepoint capitalism".

I also really like scifi and from what I've heard he writes scifi. What scifi book(s) of his should I start with if I like these political / economic views of his?

I really enjoyed Walkaway as an intro to Doctorow.

It was a fun exploration of the politics and economic realities of a possible near future where we never really got a firm grip on runaway capitalism. Lots of fun concepts surrounding intellectual property in a post-scarcity world.
