Description
Your Computer Is on Fire by Thomas S. Mullaney, Benjamin Peters, Mar Hicks and Kavita Philip Technology scholars sound an alarm: our technological systems are built on inequality, marginalization, and biases. This book shines a spotlight on the hidden labor and invisible forces that shape our digital world. The authors argue that we can no longer afford to ignore the narratives of techno-utopianism or techno-neutrality. Instead, they reveal how everything online has an offline counterpart, often involving human beings whose labor is deliberately kept out of sight. This book challenges us to rethink our assumptions about technology and its impact on society. By examining the inequality and biases woven into our technological systems, this book offers a critical perspective on the digital world we live in.
