In the latest @NewLeftReview, I wrote about the historian of science, Lorraine Daston, and her recent book, "Rules".

Someone already translated my recent Cuba piece into Portuguese.

"the Cuban state doesn't have means to keep in check a population immersed in social media… since the digital blockade encloses it in an external ‘great firewall’, blocking access to much of the internet, the major censor in Cuba is now the US government.
