Ro Khanna, a congressman whose district includes Silicon Valley, sold
Dignity in a Digital Age to Simon & Schuster. The book, subtitled
Making Tech Work for All of
Us, was acquired by executive editor
Stephanie Frerich in a world rights agreement from
Jim Levine at the Levine Greenberg Rostan Literary Agency. S&S said Khanna tackles “equal access to technology,” one of the pressing issues of our day, and makes the case for “democratizing digital innovation in order to build economically vibrant and inclusive communities.” Before being elected to Congress, Khanna served as deputy assistant secretary of commerce in the Obama administration.
