“Should be on the summer reading list of people interested in the opportunities and challenges of technology for public stuff.”—Mitchell Weiss, Harvard Business School Working Knowledge“Power to the Public is an accessible and quick read aimed primarily at nontechnologists, with a clear-eyed take that technology is not a panacea. The book makes an important contribution to the literature on how government needs to reform its traditional approach to solving problems.”—Jim Fruchterman, Stanford Social Innovation Review“Recommended” * Choice *
