Today we celebrate the life and work of Joseph Weizenbaum (1923 - 2008), computer scientist and social critic.
We were fortunate to publish an extended interview with Weizenbaum: Islands in the Cyberstream (2015).

In “Against AI: Critical Refusal in the Library,” I examine LIS as in need of a values-realignment, asking readers to refuse the technosolutionism we are so often offered in place of human-centered possibilities, like taking racism, climate change, and labor rights seriously
