Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 3
Jumping to alternate realities sounds great, if you're in control. But what if you're not? What if you're propelled away from the people and places you love the most in the blink of an eye? And what if these involuntary journeys happen because your neurochemistry is different, and your brain works differently? Beautiful, compassionate, and resourceful as she is, this is Rea's problem. A latina trans woman and an academic, she is beloved by a tight circle of friends, who fully accept her without knowing the cause of her disappearances.

From everyday apps to complex algorithms, Ruha Benjamin cuts through tech-industry hype to understand how emerging technologies can reinforce white supremacy and deepen social inequity. Benjamin argues that automation, far from being a sinister story of racist programmers scheming on the dark web, has the potential to hide, speed up, and deepen discrimination while appearing neutral and even benevolent when compared to the racism of a previous era.

Tech isn’t inherently objective
Revisado: 09-27-24
This brilliant book helped me identify many assumptions I’ve made about the objectivity of tech and the look beyond the branding to recognize the harm that tech can do in precisely the situations where it claims to be “the solution”

Imagination: A Manifesto offers visionary examples and tactics to push beyond the constraints of what we think, and are told, is possible. This book is for anyone who is ready to take to heart Toni Morrison's instruction: "Dream a little before you think."

Long before the American Revolution and the Declaration of the Rights of Man, a motley crew of sailors, slaves, pirates, laborers, market women, and indentured servants had ideas about freedom and equality that would forever change history. The Many Headed-Hydra recounts their stories in a sweeping history of the role of the dispossessed in the making of the modern world.

Paradigm-shifting
Revisado: 09-08-23
Fans of David Graeber will love this. A testament to the human impulse toward freedom. Naming an undeniable through line across the history of resistance and solidarity..
I found this book grounding and heartening. Popular culture has vilified the symbol of hydra, teaching us to fear it, and to believe that centralized power is the only source of safety.
This book holds up a mirror: oppressors are the ones who fear the hydra. The good news is the hydra is *us*.

Mar is a transmasculine nonbinary teen pirate hiding a magical ability to manipulate fire and ice. But their magic isn't enough to reverse a wicked bargain made by their father, and now el Diablo has come to collect his payment: the soul of Mar's father and the entire crew of their ship. When Mar is miraculously rescued by the sole remaining pirate crew in the Caribbean, el Diablo returns to give them a choice: give up their soul to save their father by the harvest moon, or never see him again. But Mar refuses to make a bargain, and there's no way their magic is a match for el Diablo.

Vico Ortiz is a treasure
Revisado: 06-16-23
This story is tender and brilliant.
Genderqueer Latine narrator, Vico Ortiz, brings the whole thing to life.
I am a white reader with no Spanish skills and an American accent. I especially appreciated hearing the Spanish pour from Ortiz’s narration in a way my own internal narrator could never have approximated.
I learned of this book from Vico Ortiz, who I follow online because of their role as a gender-non-conforming character on a 2022 pirate comedy on HBO called, Our Flag Means Death. Can’t recommend that show enough, but FYI it’s not a YA program, it’s for adults.

All is not well in the city that never sleeps. Even though the avatars of New York City have temporarily managed to stop the Woman in White from invading—and destroying the entire universe in the process—the mysterious capital "E" Enemy has more subtle powers at her disposal. A new candidate for mayor wielding the populist rhetoric of gentrification, xenophobia, and "law and order" may have what it takes to change the very nature of New York itself and take it down from the inside.

They pulled out all the stops with this audiobook version of this brilliant sequel. The effects add so much layering to the experience of the story. So thoughtful and spot on. Downright immersive.
This series deserved a knock-out audiobook and this one delivers!
