Here’s my selection of (some of!) the best books about technology and democracy:

As I comment in the introduction to my selection:

I’ve … always been interested in politics and the complex intersection of technology and public policy. So much so that most of my working life has been spent at this intersection, which is why I love these books—and hope you will too.

Many thanks to Ben Fox and the team at Shepherd (including Cathy and Serita) for their commitment to books and authors.
