Over the past 10 years, urban planners, technology companies, and governments have promoted smart cities with a somewhat utopian vision of urban life made knowable and manageable through data collection and analysis. Emerging smart cities have become both crucibles and showrooms for the practical application of the Internet of Things, cloud computing, and the integration of big data into everyday life. Are smart cities optimized, sustainable, digitally networked solutions to urban problems? Or are they neoliberal, corporate-controlled, undemocratic non-places?

In 1976, the Teton Dam collapsed, unleashing a wall of water that ravaged eastern Idaho and shattered the publics trust in American infrastructure. Engineers, historians, and survivors have asked the same question: Why did it fail? For decades, the disaster has been reduced to a cautionary tale, a grim case study, a footnote in engineering textbooks. But what if the real story is more complicated than we have ever been told? Failure and Fortitude is a meticulously researched, vividly written account of the Teton Dams rise and ruin.

Conquering a nation through its own border is one of history's oldest strategies —and, this audiobook argues, it is happening again. The Great Betrayal examines how a political class reshaped the country without asking the people who live in it.

The air was electric with joy, the kind of joy that comes only once in a lifetime. I was still a young Achimota student—just shy of 17—at the time.
