  Rewiring Democracy - How AI Will...

  In this advisedly optimistic book, Rewiring Democracy, security technologist Bruce Schneier and data scientist Nathan Sanders cut through the AI hype and examine the myriad ways that AI is transforming every aspect of democracy—for both good and ill.The authors describe how the sophistication of AI will fulfill demands from lawmakers for more complex legislation, reducing deference to the executive branch and altering the balance of power between lawmakers and administrators. They show how the scale and scope of AI is enhancing civil servants' ability to shape private-sector behavior, automating either the enforcement or neglect of industry regulations. They also explain how both lawyers and judges will leverage the speed of AI, upending how we think about law enforcement, litigation, and dispute resolution.Whether these outcomes enhance or degrade democracy depends on how we shape the development and use of AI technologies. Powerful players in private industry and public life are already using AI to increase their influence, and AIs built by corporations don't deliver the fairness and trust required by democratic governance. But, steered in the right direction, AI's broad capabilities can augment democratic processes and help citizens build consensus, express their voice, and shake up long-standing power structures.

  In celebration of the one-year anniversary of Women’s March, this oral history offers an unprecedented, front-row seat to one of the most galvanizing movements in American history, featuring the very women who organized the march, and essays by feminist activists: ROWAN BLANCHARD • SENATOR TAMMY DUCKWORTH • AMERICA FERRERA • ROXANE GAY • ILANA GLAZER • ASHLEY JUDD • VALARIE KAUR • CINDI LEIVE • DAVID REMNICK • JILL SOLOWAY • YARA SHAHIDI • JIA TOLENTINO • CONGRESSWOMAN MAXINE WATERS • ELAINE WELTEROTH • JOSE ANTONIO VARGAS • AND MORE 
  On January 21, 2017, the day after Donald J. Trump’s inauguration, more than three million marchers of all ages and walks of life took to the streets as part of the largest protest in American history. In red states and blue states, in small towns and major urban centers, from Boise to Boston, Bangkok to Buenos Aires, people from eighty-two countries—on all seven continents—rose up in solidarity to voice a common message: Hear our voice. 
  It became the largest global protest in modern history. 
  Compiled by Women’s March organizers, in partnership with Condé Nast and Glamour magazine Editor in Chief Cindi Leive, Together We Rise—published for the one-year anniversary of the event—is the complete chronicle of this remarkable uprising. For the first time, Women’s March organizers—including Bob Bland, Cassady Fendlay, Sarah Sophie Flicker, Janaye Ingram, Tamika Mallory, Paola Mendoza, Carmen Perez, and Linda Sarsour —tell their personal stories and reflect on their collective journey in an oral history written by Jamia Wilson, writer, activist and director of The Feminist Press. They provide an inside look at how the idea for the event originated, how it was organized, how it became a global movement that surpassed their wildest expectations, and how they are sustaining and building on the widespread outrage, passion, and determination that sparked it. 
  Together We Rise interweaves their stories with ""Voices from the March""—recollections from real women who were there, across the world, and voiced by January LaVoy—and 22 short, thought-provoking essays by esteemed writers, celebrities and artists including those both written and read by Ashley Judd, Jia Tolentino, Cindi Leive, Kateri Akiwenzie-Damm, Sister Aisha Al-Adawiya, Melanie Campbell, Judith LeBlanc, and Ai-Jen Poo. It also features the talented voices of Robin Miles as the narrator, Thérèse Plummer, and James Fouhey. An inspirational call to action that reminds us that together, ordinary people can make a difference, Together We Rise is an unprecedented look at a day that made history—and the beginning of a resistance movement to reclaim our future.  
  Women’s March will share proceeds from Together We Rise with three grassroots, women-led organizations: The Gathering for Justice, SisterSong Women of Color Reproductive Justice Collective, and Indigenous Women Rise. 
  Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

  The *Simple Sabotage Field Manual*, created in 1944 by the U.S. Office of Strategic Services (OSS), is a unique World War II-era document that provides guidance on simple methods of sabotage. Originally intended for citizens in enemy-occupied territories, it describes easy-to-execute tactics for disrupting enemy operations without special tools or skills. The manual covers areas such as industrial sabotage, transportation interference, and general workplace disruption, encouraging small acts like misplacing tools, giving incorrect directions, or insisting on unnecessary bureaucracy to lower productivity and morale. Emphasizing the power of collective minor disruptions, this field manual offers a fascinating look at unconventional resistance strategies and reflects the ingenuity of wartime intelligence efforts. Now in the public domain, it serves as a historical document on guerrilla tactics and psychological warfare.

  "I'm here to put the internationals in order. I'm in charge here. Too many people showed up at the center and they had no business being there.” These are the words of an American instructor, met by Régis Le Sommier at the beginning of the war when all the media was minimizing the role of the United States in Ukraine.
  Régis Le Sommier is the only war reporter to have gone to both sides of the front line with the Ukrainian and Russian armies for a year. He worked for Paris-Match for 30 years and received several awards for his journalism. Odessa, Kherson, Zaporizhia, Mariupol, Donetsk, Lugansk, Donbass and Bakhmut—are all war zones where the journalist has captured the truth of the reality on the ground. This is a raw book, a book from the level of the men, far from the hazy analyses of armchair specialists.
