Code Dependent: Living in the Shadow of AI by Madhumita Murgia

challenging informative inspiring

5.0

This is probably the most important book that I've read about AI, and definitely the most compelling look at the interplay of technology and society.  The author gives faces and bodies to the nebulous ideas of "tech exploitation" and provides granular details of the ways that we are allowing tech companies to gather insidious amounts and types of data about us.  She is clearly not anti-tech nor anti-AI, but rather offers a clear picture of existing and emerging social implications and problems and calls wider society into action to demand a better way.  Really engaging and informative.
