This book provides meaningful, real-world stories about the challenges of advancing government through technology. As someone who has worked in government, and now in civic tech, so much of the book resonated. For example, the authors implore readers to “never be afraid to ask why.” This simple question can often uncover the fundamental challenges that should first be solved, before any technical solutions are introduced. No matter where you are in your journey toward better government, this is a great read.
