<br/><br/> The Technology of Nonviolence by Joseph G. Bock explores how tools like social media, mapping, and crowdsourcing are used to prevent violence around the world. Through real-life case studies in Kenya, Sri Lanka, India, and the U.S., Bock shows that while technology can help detect and respond to conflict, it’s most effective when combined with local knowledge and community action.
