Morgan Lopes -

Excellent books exist about technology's spiral into homogeneity as well as other areas of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. The growing number of authors' voices in this arena are invaluable. Many reflect the lived experiences of those negatively impacted by industry deficits while others provide broader insights.
