A speaker recommends a book written by someone else.
“The third book is one I think is really special. It's called against tech oligarchy by JS Tan and Clarissa Redwine.”
Why: It gives the insiders' view of how you practice class power inside of the tech sector in a cleareyed and wonderfully written way.
