System error : where big tech went wrong and how we can reboot

Reich, Rob (author.). Sahami, Mehran, (author.). Weinstein, Jeremy M., (author.).

Summary: "System Error" exposes the root of our current predicament: how big tech's relentless focus on optimization is driving a future that reinforces discrimination, erodes privacy, displaces workers, and pollutes the information we get. Armed with an understanding of how technologists think and exercise their power, three Stanford professors share their provocative insights and concrete solutions to help everyone understand what is happening, what is at stake, and what we can do to control technology instead of letting it control us.
