There was a really good novel, "The Diamond Age" by Neal Stephenson, that had a subplot about digital teachers for schoolkids as a subersive/revoluationary scheme against those not willing to educate the kids. It didn't discuss crappification though. Gladiator at Law by Pohl and Kornbluth was also pretty good. Computerized jury trials. The "jury box" turned out to be a computer.
