Is There a Black Cultural Police in Technology?
In the book, you describe how black people can be enthralled by the promises of technology as much as anyone else in the united states or around the world. You write that where the west dreams of domination, black folk dream of liberation. And for me, i am wary. Liberation is definitly a goal, but liberation to what end? Liberation for home.

It's not so much liberation as it is building spaces that sustain and support us regardless of what environment we find ourselves in.
