I curated some readings for class on "data tensions" and the list felt worth sharing. Come on a tour of datasets, books, the web, and AI with me... We'll start with this piece on the Google Books project: the hopes, dreams, disasters, and aftermath of building a public library on the internet. 1/n

's game is hilarious ("Decolonize the mainframe"). Plus the retro styling of the graphics is *chef's kiss*. We were treated to a demo of distant coding too in which, in about 3 and a half minutes, they built the basics of an escape room text adventure game
