Fantastic read! Most subjects when covering Civic Tech tend to focus more on the tech part and almost completely disregard the Civic part. That has not been the case with this book! The author consistently emphasized the importance and role of humanistic involvement within this world. They also did a beautiful job explaining why it’s important and the effort of having (of missing) that element. It was an extremely thought out and well connected piece of work. The author provided statements, research, thoughtful reflection, and also left room for mistakes/unknown. At the end of the book-there was also plenty of resources given to the audience in order to help begin their own work. Due to this book, I have learned more about the central governmental technology without losing any value to the people it affects and the people who create it. Well done
