Your Undivided Attention
Your Undivided Attention explores the incredible power that technology has over our lives — and how we can use it to catalyze a humane future.
Internet for the People
The internet is broken because it is owned by private firms and run for profit. Google annihilates your privacy and Facebook amplifies right-wing propaganda because it is profitable to do so. But the internet wasn't always like this. Tarnoff tells the story of the privatization that made the modern internet, and which set in motion the crises that consume it today.
Design Justice
An exploration of how design might be led by marginalized communities, dismantle structural inequality, and advance collective liberation and ecological survival.
Coded Bias
CODED BIAS explores the fallout of MIT Media Lab researcher Joy Buolamwini’s discovery that facial recognition does not see dark-skinned faces accurately, and her journey to push for the first-ever legislation in the U.S. to govern against bias in the algorithms that impact us all.
Automating Inequality
Automating Inequality systematically investigates the impacts of data mining, policy algorithms, and predictive risk models on poor and working-class people in America.
Atlas of AI
In Atlas of AI: Power, Politics, and the Planetary Costs of Artificial Intelligence Crawford reveals how the global networks underpinning AI technology are damaging the environment, entrenching inequality, and fuelling a shift toward undemocratic governance.
Algorithms of Oppression
A revealing look at how negative biases against women of color are embedded in search engine results and algorithms
The Age of Surveillance
The challenges to humanity posed by the digital future, the first detailed examination of the unprecedented form of power called "surveillance capitalism," and the quest by powerful corporations to predict and control our behavior.
Weapons of Math Destruction
A former Wall Street quant sounds the alarm on Big Data and the mathematical models that threaten to rip apart our social fabric.
