David Runciman is a British political scientist, author, and professor of politics at the University of Cambridge. He is also the creator and host of Talking Politics, one of the most popular and influential political podcasts in the UK. His books, including How Democracy Ends, The Confidence Trap, and The Handover, explore the fragilities and paradoxes of democratic governance in the modern world. The Handover examines the transfer of power from humans to machines and what it means for the future of politics. Runciman's audiobooks offer listeners intellectually stimulating, accessibly written political analysis from one of Britain's sharpest political thinkers.
