[ONLINE] - The Tech That Comes Next

In The Tech That Comes Next: How Changemakers, Philanthropists, and Technologists Can Build An Equitable World, authors Afua Bruce and Amy Sample Ward make an argument for the inherent links between technology and equity, and how you can help shift our collective relationship to technology and how it is produced and disseminated. The authors, two leaders from the field of equitable design in technology, ask the big questions that help inform both what needs to change in tech and how all of us can make change.
