Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

In an age where technological development is driven by what Sadie Plant calls "industrial-strength testosterone", the self-proclaimed cyber- prophet insists that the female contribution to technology has been severely underestimated. Having recently established the Department of New Technology at Warwick University - and a club night in Birmingham - Plant's mission is to obliterate commonly-held preconceptions regarding computer science. With a balance of wit and truculence, Zeros and Ones sheds ground-breaking light on women's compatibility with computers, enthusiastically predicting men's redundancy within this traditionally male territory in the course of the 21st century.

Zeros and Ones: Digital Women and the New Technoculture by Sadie Plant.
