About this deal

Imafidon assumes no prior knowledge or understanding on the reader's part, explaining the very basics, such as the necessity of digital literacy - "A certain level of digital literacy is necessary to get along in life," she explains. This is redundant for Imafidon's core audience of technologically engaged young women, but perhaps that is no shortcoming for 'She's in CTRL', which primarily aims to teach, convince, and encourage people not already engaged with tech.

These conversations aren’t part of our social norms. So, I wanted to boil all that down into a book because I can enable people to engage with this, understand it, make practical changes in the Getting Started sections. If I can share what I know with others, that might have an impact not just on those folks attending events, but parents, would-be volunteers . . . That was the impetus behind the book.
