[root&router-readinggroup] New Books Starting on August 4th

[Niels ten Oever]

Hi all,

The choice has been made! From 4 August onward we will be reading:

- Techno-Negative: A Long History of Refusing the Machine by Thomas Dekeyser
- Machine and Sovereignty: For a Planetary Thinking by Yuk Hui

Now is a good time to (re-)join, and to download or buy your summer reading.

All details on joining can be found here:
https://www.criticalinfralab.net/2025/11/open-reading-group/

We're also happily accepting suggestions for what to read after these 
two, roughly from December onward. Feel free to share ideas over this 
list or with me individually.

Looking forward to seeing many of you this afternoon, while we continue 
with:

- The Low-Carbon Contradiction: Energy Transition, Geopolitics, and the 
Infrastructural State in Cuba by Gustav Cederlöf
- The Deadly Life of Logistics: Mapping Violence in Global Trade by 
Deborah Cowen

Best,
Niels
