Transaction Denied
<p>In <strong>Transaction Denied: How Financial Institutions Silence Dissent and Undermine Democracy</strong>, author <strong>Rainey Reitman</strong> examines the growing phenomenon of financial censorship, in which banks, payment processors, and credit card networks can restrict access to financial services based on speech, identity, or perceived risk. From voting rights organizations and educators to adult content creators and cannabis entrepreneurs, Reitman shares stories of individuals and communities who have found themselves excluded from the financial system, and explores what these cases reveal about power, free expression, and democratic participation in the digital age. Joining Reitman in conversation is author and journalist <strong>Annalee Newitz</strong>.</p><p>Grab your copy of Transaction Denied: <a href="https://www.betterworldbooks.com/product/detail/transaction-denied-big-finance-s-power-to-punish-speech-9780807019115/new">https://www.betterworldbooks.com/product/detail/transaction-denied-big-finance-s-power-to-punish-speech-9780807019115/new</a> </p><p>This conversation was recorded on 6/3/2026.</p><p>Check out all of the Future Knowledge episodes at <a href="https://archive.org/details/future-knowledge">https://archive.org/details/future-knowledge</a> </p>

AI Tools, Not Gods
<p>In <strong>AI Tools, Not Gods</strong>, policy researcher <strong>Caroline De Cock </strong>examines how myths about artificial intelligence—framing it as an all-knowing mind or an unstoppable force—have come to shape public policy and public understanding. By unpacking the narratives that dominate conversations about AI, De Cock argues for a clearer, evidence-based approach that recognizes AI for what it is: a set of human-built tools that must be governed with accountability and care. Tech writer <strong>Glyn Moody</strong> (<strong>Walled Culture</strong>) speaks with De Cock about cutting through the hype surrounding AI.</p><p>Grab your copy of AI Tools, Not Gods: <a href="https://archive.org/details/ai-tools-not-gods-book">https://archive.org/details/ai-tools-not-gods-book</a> </p><p>This conversation was recorded on 2/10/2026.

Law and Technology
<p>In <strong>Law and Technology</strong>, legal scholar <strong>Ryan Calo</strong> explores one of the defining challenges of our time: how societies can govern rapidly evolving technologies before those technologies reshape laws, rights, and institutions. Rather than treating each new innovation as a completely unique problem, Calo argues for a more durable framework for thinking about technology policy that helps lawmakers, courts, and the public respond thoughtfully to developments ranging from facial recognition to generative AI. Legal scholar <strong>Danielle Citron </strong>joins Calo for a conversation about regulation, accountability, and what it means to build laws that can keep pace with technological change.</p><p>Grab your copy of Law and Technology: <a href="https://www.law-and-technology.com/">https://www.law-and-technology.com</a> </p><p>This conversation was recorded on 3/26/2026.
