Book Review: I Want to Burn This Place Down by Maris Kreizman

Book Review: Imagination by Ruha Benjamin
It’s not really that this book is bad, it’s just that it feels like a Ted Talk.
Book Review: Empire of AI by Karen Hao
If I could make everyone in my life read any one book, it would be Empire of AI by Karen Hao. Maybe then they’d stop suggesting I use AI for things.
Book Review: Shubeik Lubeik by Deena Mohamed
