Automating Inequality by Virginia Eubanks

informative reflective sad medium-paced

4.5

Eubanks talks through the history of poverty in America starting from poor houses. She then goes into automation and focuses on the automation study in Indiana. There were many things that I did not know about how big data criminalizes the poor. In accepting help and programs you add to your risk score which can lead to getting your children taken away from you. This book is essential as we move into a more automated era with technology.
