I’m honored that the Times Higher Education Supplement<\/em>, a leading publication for higher education professionals, has chosen Programmed Inequality<\/em> for its prestigious book of the week slot this week. Professor John Gilbey writes in his review that Programmed Inequality <\/em>is “a sophisticated work of scholarship: detailed, insightful, deeply researched,” and “has a much wider relevance, too, which it would be unwise to understate. Discussing, as it does, the role of profoundly structural gender discrimination in the collapse of technical dominance by a formerly great power, this book makes very uncomfortable reading \u2013 on a number of levels.” Read the full review and the interview that follows it here: The failure of the UK computer industry in the 20th century holds uncomfortable lessons for the US in the 21st century, writes the Times Higher Educational Supplement<\/a><\/p>\n

I was also fortunate enough to be on the radio (twice!) last week discussing Programmed Inequality<\/em>. The first was with Steve Grzanich of WGN Radio in Chicago on his show The Opening Bell (listen to the podcast here<\/a>). The second was with Frank Stasio of WUNC Radio on his show The State of Things (listen to the podcast here<\/a>). And after I went on air at WUNC I headed to the Regulator Bookshop in Durham, NC (home of Duke University, where I got my PhD) to give a book talk.<\/p>\n
