Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Mia Ellis's narration is both compelling and informative, making Race After Technology a standout listening experience. Her delivery keeps the technical jargon from overwhelming the listener while still conveying the urgency of Benjamin’s message. The audiobook moves at a brisk pace, tackling topics like genetic testing and surveillance with equal depth and sensitivity. However, some sections could have benefited from more pause or emphasis to underscore their importance fully. Overall, this is an indispensable resource for anyone looking to understand how technology intersects with racial justice.
