Every day, new warnings emerge about artificial intelligence
rebelling against us. All the while, a more immediate dilemma flies
under the radar. Have forces been unleashed that are thrusting
humanity down an ill-advised path, one that's increasingly making
us behave like simple machines? In this wide-reaching,
interdisciplinary book, Brett Frischmann and Evan Selinger examine
what's happening to our lives as society embraces big data,
predictive analytics, and smart environments. They explain how the
goal of designing programmable worlds goes hand in hand with
engineering predictable and programmable people. Detailing new
frameworks, provocative case studies, and mind-blowing thought
experiments, Frischmann and Selinger reveal hidden connections
between fitness trackers, electronic contracts, social media
platforms, robotic companions, fake news, autonomous cars, and
more. This powerful analysis should be read by anyone interested in
understanding exactly how technology threatens the future of our
society, and what we can do now to build something better.
