    “It's [about] the real, constant tension between what does a society want and ... what does the government want ... and you have to find the narrow corridor.”

    Nadella called it 'a fantastic book' during his Davos 2020 on-stage interview with the World Economic Forum, framing it as essential for understanding the tension tech must navigate between state and society.
