My friend @AynneKokas's new book "Trafficking Data", forthcoming from @OxUniPress on 11/1, is already a #1 new release in political science. It's going to be of immense interest to policymakers, business executives, and technologists around the world. https://www.amazon.com/Trafficking-Data-Winning-Digital-Sovereignty/dp/0197620507/

A thought-provoking observation from @eosnos's must-read book "Wildland": "At the same time that Americans were becoming less mobile—socially and geographically—they were being liberated from the old boundaries of information" (p. 315). https://t.co/6EBromIDBS

Zbigniew Brzezinski observed in his 1997 book "The Grand Chessboard" that "the most dangerous scenario would be...an 'antihegemonic' coalition united...by complementary grievances." He envisioned that "China would likely be the leader and Russia the follower" (p. 55). [2/4]

A must-read "[L]et's stop trying to control probability when it comes to disasters and start trying to control the consequences." — @juliettekayyem, "The Devil Never Sleeps: Learning to Live in an Age of Disasters" (New York: @public_affairs, 2022): p. 24 https://www.amazon.com/Devil-Never-Sleeps-Learning-Disasters/dp/1541700090

I invariably marvel at the beauty, insight, and humanity of @parul_sehgal's writing. She concludes her review of Barbara Ehrenreich's new book "Natural Causes" by drawing our attention to a 17th-century Japanese poet named Mizuta Masahide.
