This book examines the relationship between digital technology and systemic racism, conceptualizing the 'New Jim Code' where algorithms reflect and amplify social hierarchies. Benjamin argues that seemingly neutral technologies can deepen inequity and provides conceptual tools to challenge biased technical designs.
