Geek Heresy by Kentaro Toyama
Rescuing Social Change from the Cult of Technology
The book argues that digital technology is not a cure-all but an amplifier of human intent and existing institutional capacity; without well-functioning organizations, trained people, proper incentives, and accountability, tech interventions—especially in education and development—tend to underperform, so efforts should prioritize strengthening human systems and using technology pragmatically to support proven practices rather than as a substitute for human agency.
