Description
When technology moves so fast that regulation can't keep up, people's lives and livelihoods are put in jeopardy. Designers and engineers often react by creating ad hoc policies that might lead to even bigger problems.
Deliberate Intervention shows designers and policymakers alike how to work together proactively to create tools and rules that truly serve the public interest.
