Hive mind: I am teaching a graduate course this semester called "Technology and Politics" on "contemporary work focused on the intersection of technological innovation and politics." This includes both how technology is shaping and being shaped by politics. What's your favorite article/book? - ThreadSky

I'm looking for *recent* work on topics like AI/democracy, algorithmic bias, data privacy, geopolitics of technology (chips, TikTok, etc.), content moderation/censorship/free expression, effects of social media, Internet governance, etc.

Suggestions and Self nominations welcome!

I'm also interested in work on historical events (e.g., roll out of radio, Internet) if you have something there as well, although this is a bit easier to find.
