Data, New Technologies, and Global Imbalances
Beyond the Obvious
The idea that technology is neutral is untenable. Pervasive data shapes our world, creating innovation but also deep imbalances. This book explores these risks and asks: How can policymakers address this? Should data be public? Do we need a global data-governance structure?

Decolonizing Science
The Search for Thales and Euclid
Science denial is rising, partly because science, falsely portrayed as a European invention, alienates most of the world. This book traces how colonial agendas shaped science's history, embedding racial and gendered prejudices into its concepts and divorcing it from reality.

Evolutionary Analogies
Is the Process of Scientific Change Analogous to the Organic Change?
This book presents a serious challenge to the analogy between biological and scientific change. It argues that such theories are sketchy or unpersuasive, shedding new light on one of the dominant theories of scientific progress.
