Race After Technology by @ruha9 is really the book of the moment, combining radically important insights technology, racial justice, and surveillance. If you run a tech company, you should be buying this book for employees. If you work in tech you need to read it.

I just finished reading @ruha9's new book, Race After Technology, and immediately had to return it because the US Senate Library has a waiting list for it! I had to wait my turn to check the book out as well. This is a rarity for any particular policy or academic book here.
