Next Week’s Episodes
With all the news out of Afghanistan, we’ve been focused on foreign policy, so next week, we’re focusing on two our other issues: the future of college and debates over Big Tech.
Tuesday’s Show: Jeffrey Selingo on the future of college at the start of the new school year. Jeffrey’s books include Who Gets in and Why: A Year Inside College Admissions and College (Un)bound: The Future of Higher Education and What It Means for Students.
Thursday’s Show: Stanford’s Mehran Sahami and Jeremy Weinstein on their new book, System Error: Where Big Tech Went Wrong and How We Can Reboot (available for pre-order now, out on 9/7).
The Realignment Bookshop
As a reminder, we’ve created a Realignment Bookshop affiliate store showcasing books by guests, what we’re actively reading this year and deeper dives into the featured topic of an episode.
Most importantly, you don’t need to go with our recommendations if you want to support the show. If you go to Bookshop.org through our link and then purchase *anything* we still get your support.
If you purchase a book using our link, the show gets a 10% commission, a local, independent bookseller gets support, and you get an awesome book!
Here are two lists we’ve built out:
1) Books by Realignment Guests
2) Books we’ve read/listened to in 2021
