A review by ignimbrite
Automating Inequality by Virginia Eubanks

Okay, I thought this was an interesting book, but I'm really curious (and kind of disturbed) about why my very banal status updates regarding this book - and only this book - have been getting a ton of "likes" by people I don't know. Why have so many strangers liked that I added this to my "Want to Read" list, or that I added it to my "Currently Reading" list, or that I listed it as "Read" but did not rate it or give it a review? (And still, over a month after I finished the book?) WHY ARE SO MANY BOTS INTERESTED IN MY READING OF A BOOK ABOUT THE DYSTOPIAN INTENTIONS AND IMPACTS OF AUTOMATED SOCIAL SERVICES? Has anyone else noticed this? It's really creeping me out...
