Summary: Benjamin draws on her own experiences as well as research to show how we can build a more just world--one small, and viral, step at a time.Summary: Long before the pandemic, Benjamin was doing groundbreaking research on race, technology, and justice, focusing on big, structural changes. The twin plagues of COVID-19 and anti-Black police violence inspired her to rethink the importance of small, individual actions. Here she explores how we can transform society through the choices we make every day. Benjamin shows how seemingly minor decisions and habits could spread virally and have exponentially positive effects. She introduces us to community organizers who are fostering mutual aid and collective healing. -- adapted from jacket
