"Many people claim tech insider status. Few have the credentials — and the stories — to back it up the way Katie Harbath does. From building Facebook's global elections operation to coordinating the company's efforts across hundreds of countries' elections, Katie was making the decisions most of us only get to second-guess. Disrupting Politics is the rare tech memoir that doesn't flatten the story into heroes and villains. It sits with the tradeoffs — the ones where every option feels wrong and you have to choose anyway. This is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand how technology and democracy actually collided, told by someone who was standing at the fault line." — Yoel Roth, Trust & Safety Tech Executive

"It may seem like a distant memory, but there was a time when social media was seen as a force for good, empowering everyday people to speak and connecting people around the world. Katie takes readers through the full arc of politics in the Internet era, from heady days of exuberance around new social media tools to the intense backlash against them. Now that we are again on the precipice of powerful new technology — AI — reshaping our world, Katie’s look at the past holds lessons for the future of politics, tech, and civic life around the world." — Kristin Soltis Anderson, Pollster and Founding Partner, Echelon Insights
