Reviews

""Most books about Big Tech and democracy are written by people who weren't in the room. Katie Harbath was . . . As someone who has studied platforms and democracies from the outside for years, I found this revealing and personal glimpse of the inside both fascinating and informative. Anyone interested in understanding how technology and democracy have collided in the last decade-and what will come next-should read it."" - Renee DiResta, author of Invisible Rulers ""It may seem like a distant memory, but there was a time when social media was seen as a force for good, empowering everyday people to speak and connecting people around the world . . . Now that we are again on the precipice of powerful new technology-AI-reshaping our world, Katie's look at the past holds lessons for the future of politics, tech, and civic life around the world."" - Kristin Soltis Anderson, Pollster and Founding Partner, Echelon Insights ""Disrupting Politics is the rare tech memoir that doesn't flatten the story into heroes and villains. It sits with the tradeoffs-the ones where every option feels wrong and you have to choose anyway. This is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand how technology and democracy actually collided, told by someone who was standing at the fault line."" - Yoel Roth, Trust & Safety Tech Executive
