How Big Data Increases Inequality and Threatens Democracy
by Cathy O'Neil · 2016 · 259 pages

Yuval Noah Harari
A former Wall Street quantitative analyst reveals how mathematical models and algorithms increasingly govern societal decisions while reinforcing inequality.

The book argues for greater transparency and ethical accountability in the data science that shapes our modern lives.
