Annotation

The story is set in a future that is completely connected and surveilled by a company like Cambridge Analytica told from the point-of-view of a teenager who doesn’t fit the parameters. All the stories in the book are responses to a recent book, A New City O/S: The Power of Open, Collaborative, and Distributed Government (Washington, DC: Brookings Institution Press, 2017), by Stephen Goldsmith and Neil Kleiman, that proposes, in the editors’ interpretation, that cities should act more like Amazon in dealing with their citizens.

Author Note
