"An all-star collection of readable and complex stories, all aimed at ensuring the naive view of neutral technology gets buried and, please, left in the past."
—Public Books
"The collection of impactful tech issues interrogated over the span of decades in this book makes it recommended reading for anyone interested in the impact of tech policy in businesses and governments, as well as people deploying AI or interested in the way people shape technology."
—VentureBeat
"Technology is so embedded in our lives that we can sometimes forget it is there at all.
Your Computer is on Fire is a vital reminder not only of its presence, but that we urgently need to extinguish the problems associated with it."
—New Scientist
"The book tech critics and organizers have been waiting for."
—Los Angeles Review of Books
"The authors fearlessly dismantle the technology industry’s most sacred assumptions, forcing a rethinking of everything we’ve come to accept as true about our digital lives and the multibillion-dollar digital transformations going on inside our companies. Titles such as 'Gender Is a Corporate Tool,' 'A Network Is Not a Network,' and 'Coding Is Not Empowerment' pull no punches.”
—Strategy & Business
"A compelling case for the value of the humanities – and of history, in particular – in offering us a critical perspective to challenge the fantasies of genius innovators and streamlined progress."
