About this listen

In the spirit of Black History Month, today we're talking about our latest Overbooked Book Club choice – Race After Technology,

Marchers Zorina Akhund and Franki Darnold take us through a brief background on the book’s author, Ruha Benjamin and her achievements as a writer and professor.

Finally, Zorina and Franki answer the overarching question of Race After Technology: Are robots racist?
