The Social Power of Algorithms (Paperback)

The vast circulations of mobile devices, sensors and data mean that
the social world is now defined by a complex interweaving of human
and machine agency. Key to this is the growing power of algorithms
- the decision-making parts of code - in our software dense and
data rich environments. Algorithms can shape how we are retreated,
what we know, who we connect with and what we encounter, and they
present us with some important questions about how society operates
and how we understand it. This book offers a series of concepts,
approaches and ideas for understanding the relations between
algorithms and power. Each chapter provides a unique perspective on
the integration of algorithms into the social world. As such, this
book directly tackles some of the most important questions facing
the social sciences today. This book was originally published as a
special issue of Information, Communication & Society.
