About me

Hi there!

My name is Laila. I spent the last six years of my life studying all things international relations and political science, with a special focus on how they intersect with technology. This site is an intellectual outlet for me to explore the fascinating intersection of technology, politics, and society. 

Amid the growing securitization of emerging technologies, the rise of private tech companies as geopolitical actors, and new technological breaktrhoughs challenging long-established moral and legal norms, technology has become a central force in global affairs.

Understanding how it's shaping political discourse, driving new alliances, and shifting the balance of power is more critical than ever, not only to make sense of what’s happening now, but to anticipate what comes next.
