Technology scholars declare an emergency: attention must be paid to
the inequality, marginalization, and biases woven into our
technological systems. This book sounds an alarm: we can no longer
afford to be lulled into complacency by narratives of
techno-utopianism, or even techno-neutrality. We should not be
reassured by such soothing generalities as human error, virtual
reality, or the cloud. We need to realize that nothing is virtual:
everything that happens online, virtually, or autonomously happens
offline first, and often involves human beings whose labor is
deliberately kept invisible. Everything is IRL. In Your Computer Is
on Fire, technology scholars train a spotlight on the inequality,
marginalization, and biases woven into our technological systems.
