My book Radical Infrastructure came out last week! It goes deep into the political and economic roots of technological infrastructure to explain hype around various technical projects, and counters it with cases of people pushing back. Download OA: www.ucpress.edu/books/radica...

Solidarity with teachers @utlanow.bsky.social "i-Ready software generates new and unique questions for students based on [...] an algorithm, but parents and teachers are unable to see what children are asked, in part because the company that makes the program considers them proprietary information."
