Targeted: The Cambridge Analytica Whistleblower's Inside Story of How Big Data, Trump, and Facebook Broke Democracy and How It Can Happen Again by Brittany Kaiser

5.0

Brittany provides yet another lens in which to view the CA/SCL. The topic of CA/SCL and the world events that have resulted from their work highly interests me. As any good individual should, one must gather as much information to help build the best understanding they can of any subject. Brittany's book tells her personal story during her time with CA which includes the struggles and insights into her worldview. She demonstrates that she is human, she is fallible, and willing to face and then learn from her mistakes.

Her story adds credibility to Wylie's and also contrasts some of his self perception. In all, both books provide a solid enough basis to demonstrate the severity of our current vulnerabilities with respect to big players in tech. Regardless of the narrative styles and personal opinions on how the author may have conducted herself, the information she presents is valuable and useful in helping to motivate and shape the future of our digital society.
