This book is the antidote to both shady right-wing crypto hype-men and uninformed leftist tech criticism. A solid explainer of blockchain, its related technology, and their egalitarian and liberatory potential.
Indefensible: Democracy, Counterrevolution, and the Rhetoric of Anti-Imperialism by Rohini Hensman
challenging
informative
4.0
Kind of amazing how much history is packed into this book. Hensman gives nuanced context on imperialism and military conflicts from Bosnia to Syria. Included is much needed criticism of sloppy and disingenuous pseudo “anti-imperialism”, although less than I was expecting. The book reads as more of a corrective history than a critique.
