Q: What book most shaped your conception of the future?
A: I would say Shirley Chisholm’s autobiography “Unbought and Unbossed"...She has a saying, “I don’t measure America by its achievement but by its potential.”

The administration got rid of 18F under the cover of night. People who own skyscrapers are afraid of 100 people who make websites.
