Summary of Ro Khanna's Dignity in a Digital Age

Book excerpt: Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 When you are unemployed, it can be even more stressful than physical trauma. You worry constantly about your family and your future, and you never know when you will lose everything. #2 The digital economy can create opportunities for people where they live instead of uprooting them. We must uplift service workers who face economic precarity, and we must make the high-tech revolution work for everyone instead of just certain Silicon Valley leaders who commodified our data while amassing fortunes. #3 My story is different from Alex Hughes’s. I grew up in a community in Pennsylvania that was economically mixed. We were comfortable and never lacked for anything meaningful, but we were not rich. #4 I was elected to represent Silicon Valley, which is home to many high-growth companies. I still love going back to Bucks County to visit my parents, especially with my wife and kids.
