Networks powered by algorithms are pervasive. Major contemporary
technology trends - Internet of Things, Big Data, Digital Platform
Power, Blockchain, and the Algorithmic Society - are manifestations
of this phenomenon. The internet, which once seemed an unambiguous
benefit to society, is now the basis for invasions of privacy,
massive concentrations of power, and wide-scale manipulation. The
algorithmic networked world poses deep questions about power,
freedom, fairness, and human agency. The influential 1997 Federal
Communications Commission whitepaper "Digital Tornado" hailed the
"endless spiral of connectivity" that would transform society, and
today, little remains untouched by digital connectivity. Yet
fundamental questions remain unresolved, and even more serious
challenges have emerged. This important collection, which offers a
reckoning and a foretelling, features leading technology scholars
who explain the legal, business, ethical, technical, and public
policy challenges of building pervasive networks and algorithms for
the benefit of humanity. This title is also available as Open
Access on Cambridge Core.
