## Candidates ## Candidates
- [_Democracy Awakening_, Heather Cox Richardson](https://www.amazon.com/AI-Fight-Techs-Create-Future-ebook/dp/B0DCZKG777). 2023. 304pp. Audiobook: Yes
- A contextualization of the current state of U.S. politics from the perspective of a thorough, well-spoken historian. Reminiscent of Zinn's _A People's History of the United States_, but with a more narrow focus. Possibly too rudimentary for this group.
- [_The AI Con: How to Fight Big Tech's Hype and Create the Future We Want_, Emily M. Bender & Alex Hanna](https://www.amazon.com/AI-Fight-Techs-Create-Future-ebook/dp/B0DCZKG777). 2025. 286pp. Audiobook: Yes
- Breaks down the constituent elements of the hype behind AI, traces the history of its current ascension, explores many of its political and social implications, and follows the money. Provides many examples of the (mis)applications of these technologies, often debunking them by explicitly spelling out the elided and often ridiculous premises of the hand-wavy syllogisms proffered by AI advocates.

- [_Malign Velocities: Accelerationism and Capitalism_, Benjamin Noys](https://www.amazon.com/Malign-Velocities-Accelerationism-Benjamin-Noys/dp/1782793003). 2014. 130pp. Audiobook: No - [_Malign Velocities: Accelerationism and Capitalism_, Benjamin Noys](https://www.amazon.com/Malign-Velocities-Accelerationism-Benjamin-Noys/dp/1782793003). 2014. 130pp. Audiobook: No
