One sentence recommendation: From the worries of the "information cocoon" and the "echo chamber" to the description of the "Republic of Labels", Sunstein is concerned about the crisis of Western democracies in the age of social media, that is, the world of labels as the basis for algorithms will bring about the fragmentation of democracy. It is therefore a book full of paradoxes and uncertain hopes, a memoir of a professor at Harvard Law School in United States who served as director of the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs.

Sex and the Law
Testimonial: "Sex is a great and mysterious motive force in human life, and a fascinating subject throughout the ages." It's hard to believe that such romantic words come from a serious judge, but that's exactly what William · Justice J. · Brennan's 1957 judgment in Ross v. Confederation. Since the establishment of the law, "sex" has always been the content of the law trying to regulate, and issues such as marriage, contraception, abortion, obscenity, and same-sex sexual behavior have caused fierce struggles in different eras. "Sex and the Law" is written from the ancient concept of sexuality and sexual customs to today's "Roe v. Wade", which for the first time tells the long history of the collision between "sex" and "law": on the one hand, the continuous evolution of "sexual" culture in different eras, and on the other hand, the continuous regulation of sexual behavior and expression by "law". The book tells a series of historical figures, events and precedents related to "sex", and the gripping views and vivid background of the times are intertwined into the process of the collision between "sexuality" and "law", with more than 60 exquisite illustrations. Colombia University President Lee · C. Bollinger highly recommends: This book is sure to have a profound impact, and it will soon be on the required reading list, not only for law students and scholars, but also for all those who want to better understand this magnificent cultural change that will continue to shake society as a whole.
