Description
Geographies of Digital Exclusion explores how data and algorithms shape our understanding of space in today's urban environments. The authors examine the key contours of information inequality, highlighting gaps and biases in digital platforms such as Google Maps and Wikipedia.
These platforms often reflect only certain facets of the world, while excluding others. However, this doesn't mean that more equitable futures are impossible. By understanding how our digital and material worlds intersect, the authors outline a roadmap for alternative digital geographies.
This book provides a critical analysis of the mechanisms driving information inequality in the digital age, offering insights into the possibilities for creating more inclusive and equitable digital environments.
