Description
System Error: How Big Tech Went Wrong and How We Can Reboot A forward-thinking manifesto from three Stanford professors reveals how big tech's obsession with optimization has sacrificed fundamental human values. It outlines steps we can take to change course, renew our democracy, and save ourselves. The relentless focus on optimization by big tech 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, these three professors show us how to hold that power to account. By reading this book, you'll gain insight into the root of our current predicament and learn how to shape a more equitable technological future.
