Power to the Public

In Power to the Public, authors Tara Dawson McGuinness and Hana Schank introduce a transformative approach known as public interest technology, designed to enhance the effectiveness of government and nonprofit organizations in addressing critical issues like pandemics and global warming. They illustrate this concept through inspiring success stories, demonstrating how user-centered policymaking, smart data utilization, and small-scale experiments can improve public service delivery. With a balanced perspective, the book offers a hopeful blueprint for leveraging both technology and innovative methods to tackle society's most pressing challenges.
