Teaser: The Ctrl-Alt-Speech Reading List

So this episode is a response to various folks who have come to us wanting to understand in a bit more depth internet regulation, online speech and trust and safety.

The trust and safety industry is having many people come into it for lots of reasons that we can go into.

So we're seeing an influx, Michael, of people who are new to the space, who haven't been following it anywhere near as long as you have, and even partly as long as I have.

And so today we're kind of sharing books that we think are essential to read to get an understanding of the space, what's been happening over the last 20 plus years on the internet, and where it's also going.

And so we've picked three books each today that we think are good places to start.

These are the books we return most to that we think about a lot.

We could have picked a whole bunch more.

It was an incredibly hard task, right?

Yeah, there are so many books.

As I was putting together sort of my list, I thought it would be obvious.

And then I was like, oh, wait, but also, but also.

And so I have a very long list, but we're not doing all of that.

We're narrowing it down to just three.

And if you have ideas, listeners, for books that we should be reading or if we should do a future episode of a reading list episode in which we talk more about books that are worth reading, get in touch with us, podcast at controllawkspeech.com or leave a comment under our Patreon post of this very episode and we'll get back to you and talk more about it.

We're not, Mike, including kind of academic papers or presentations or anything.

resources.

This is purely the kind of very few books that we think are worth touching on or that we could actually kind of spend time on.

There are others and many others that are worth reading and taking time to read.
