The first section engages in collective political education, disrupting ways of knowing about technology development and laying out how Amazon and Google’s contract with the Israeli government, called Project Nimbus, expands apartheid against Palestinians. The second, troubling “impact-speak” reimagines how we think and speak about the outcomes of tech companies and their technologies. **The third, within the system, asks how we might articulate values and organize beyond internal feedback structures to make change within tech companies. The fourth, Who Should Refuse? explores the politics and ethics of working for big tech by researching why students are drawn to work for these companies in the first place and beginning to present alternatives.
