Who’s left out by America’s digital divide?

Nicol Turner Lee, a fellow in Governance Studies and the Center for Technology Innovation, discusses America’s digital divide and challenges for people with lower incomes to access high-speed broadband and data networks. Turner Lee also describes the research she is conducting for an upcoming book and a photo story she published on the digital and economic divides in Staunton, Virginia.

Also in this episode, Tarun Chhabra and Thomas Wright discuss Wright’s book “All Measures Short of War” and the future of conflict between competing global powers.
