Eubanks and her work are a rare combination: the match of a person so capable, ethical, whip-smart and spirited to lead us into an understanding of the applications of technology that will affect us all. Poverty has always affected us all--whether or not we choose to engage with this consciousness or its many concrete, identifiable, or nuanced consequences. This book has the gift of timing. --Adrian Nicole LeBlanc, author of Random Family In this illuminating book, Eubanks shows us that in spite of cosmetic reforms, our policies for the disadvantaged remain dominated by the ancient credo of the poor law, obsessed with the exclusion and punishment of the neediest in our communities. --Frances Fox Piven, author of Regulating the Poor
