Cyd's guide is the most practical, empathetic, and optimistic view of the potential for technologists to join government and make a difference in the lives of others. If you've ever thought about going into government, or you were simply curious about how government works, how progress happens, and what it takes to make it happen - then you'll find this book an invaluable guide.

Astounding memoir, indictment of the war on drugs, accounting of the toll mass incarceration has inflicted on generations of American families... This book will move you to tears and then fill you with hope that people like Brittany are committed to making us a nation where everyone gets a chance to fulfill the American dream. This book is extraordinary.

At times laugh-out-loud funny, consistently illuminating, delightful to read from start to finish. I learned a ton, and actually plan to re-read this at times to refresh my understanding of a number of concepts that Katie lays out. As a lay-person with a fair degree of interest in (but no training in) astrophysics, this book was a perfect blend of insight, explanation, and break-your-brain theory. Cannot recommend this highly enough.
