merelybookish @LitStephanie I'm glad you love it too! Marge Piercey is a fairly prolific poet and novelist, active during the 60s-80s maybe? I usually want to like her poetry more than I do, but this one hit me right in the heart. 2y

Fully Automated Luxury Communism | Aaron Bastani

I don't think I'm going to rate this one, as I am finally getting into the Verso books and thus blundering myself through a leftist education, which leaves me imagining that I will feel differently about this book the more I learn. Trying to build a tool kit to a just world, just gotta keep looking and learning and trying and dreaming of and for that better world.

khooliha I want to do some reading that isn't so tech focused, as I do not trust the implementation of a lot of tech. But also, I acknowledge that I may be wrong to feel that way! 3y

Honestly, one of the things I am learning is that I have an even harder time than I thought holding hope in my heart and brain. I know hope is necessary, I know hopelessness is what the people in power want from us, but knowing that the existential dread of my life (climate change, specifically) has only gotten worse, well... nothing makes me long for personal oblivion quite like it. Gonna have to keep reading these books until I find what I need.

I think it's a little wild that (at least so far) the author is treating tech like it is formed in/exists in a vacuum. Algorithms are often racist for being built in a white supremacist society. The dog robot is going to be a cop now. Please think more fully about how these things currently exist!
