Had a great time at the LA Festival of Books this weekend. I may post more about it tomorrow, but just wanted to say that if you have never been, it is totally worth it!
I was fortunate to get into today's panel with nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyd968gmewwp6kyqpqhykucplphuhelaxutcw4jw3vuu7gcg42czhqmk7jhchs8vdga4fschugpy (nprofile…ugpy) and Adam Becker and randomly ended up seated next to Brian Merchant, author of Blood in the Machine.
These are all individuals who clearly unravel some of the uglier machinations of the tech world, but they are also genuinely hopeful individuals.
Also learned that Adam's podcast, Dreaming Against the Machine just launched last week and it's definitely worth listening to.
More (maybe) later...
