Automating Inequality by Virginia Eubanks

5.0

Really good informative book. I like that this focused in on three programs rather than only providing generic data. Being able to follow real programs and real people that these programs are impacting makes the data that much more tangible. I’d recommend this to anyone who doesn’t understand what implicit bias is or that thinks technology can solve all modern problems. I can understand how hard it would be for most people to realize the bias and flaws inside technology but I think we are expected to accept it as the end all be all solution. I’d also recommend this to anyone that thinks technology will eventually replace all jobs. Great book, more reason to not trust big data or anything that claims to streamline or trim the fat.
