In this era of pervasive automation, Mark Andrejevic provides an
original framework for tracing the logical trajectory of automated
media and their social, political, and cultural consequences. This
book explores the cascading logic of automation, which develops
from the information collection process through to data processing
and, finally, automated decision making. It argues that pervasive
digital monitoring combines with algorithmic decision making and
machine learning to create new forms of power and control that pose
challenges to democratic forms of accountability and individual
autonomy alike. Andrejevic provides an overview of the implications
of these developments for the fate of human experience, describing
the "bias of automation" through the logics of pre-emption,
operationalism, and "framelessness." Automated Media is a
fascinating and groundbreaking new volume: a must-read for students
and researchers of critical media studies interested in the
intersections of media, technology, and the digital economy.
