In my little corner of the academic world Larry Summers soiled himself many years ago when he vetoed the appointment of István Hont to a tenured post at Harvard. #nemesis
I'm very grateful to the editors Andrea Bardin, Marco Ferrari @ferrarim.bsky.social, Anaï Nony @anaisnony.bsky.social, and Gregorio Tenti for the opportunity and all their work putting this fantastic volume together.
I have a chapter in the new Edinburgh Companion to Gilbert Simondon looking at Simondon's understanding of industrial society and its relation to the intellectual politics of the Cold War. Let me know if you can't access it and would like a copy.
