Recoding America: Why Government Is Failing in the Digital Age and How We Can Do Better by Jennifer Pahlka
5.0
I really enjoyed this audiobook. If you work in tech and you're into public policy or interested in US politics, I'd definitely recommend this book.
Ezra Klein's interview with Jennifer Pahlka was a great summary but I think reading the whole book was worthwhile. Both liberals and conservatives have things to learn from this book.
A few favorite quotes:
"Culture eats policy"
"The waterfall methodology amounts to a pledge by all parties not to learn anything while doing the actual work."
"Government knows how to acquire technology. What we need to acquire are capabilities."
