Hi all,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I've been lurking, but will be able to join properly in a few weeks. Just a suggestion at this point to add to the HR list, in case we do one of those in the future: </div>

<div>Hi all,<br>
<br>
I would be interested in reading about 1. technology and infrastructure policy. No preference of the order of the books. Maybe we can add a book /article on communication infrastructural as industrial policy. Which I feel ties all these books together. If people
agree I can look around for a good reading about that.<br>

Thanks so much for your active attendance in the meet-up with Prof. Dr. DeSouza. I wanted to jumpstart the discussion on next readings. I have a couple of directions I would be interested in:<br>
1. We're living in a time in which technology and infrastructure policy is picking up a lot of steam, so perhaps we should read about how this turned out in previous times and the interrelation with imperialism:<br>
- The Closed World // Paul Edwards<br>
- Telegraphic Imperialism // Deep Kanta Lahiri Choudhury<br>
- China's Telecommunication Revolution // Eric Harwit<br>
- The Computerization of Society // Simon Nora and Alain Minc<br>
- Duress // Ann Laura Stoler<br>
2. Another option is digging deeper into human rights and how they are(n't) useful for equitable infrastructure governance:<br>
- Human Rights in an Unequal World // Samuel Moyn<br>
- The Morals of the Market // Jessica Whyte<br>
3. It seems the AI hype is not going away anytime soon (some are arguing it is going to be an 'infrastructural technology', meaning it will be integrating into everything) so perhaps we should dig in a bit?<br>
- Resisting AI // Dan McQuillan<br>
- Technologies of Speculation // Sun-Ha Hong<br>
These are all books I already own (sorry, not sorry), so my bias should be obvious. Feel free to fiercely argue for or against any of these books, or add new books or categories.<br>
Best,<br>
Niels<br>
