NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A former Wall Street quant sounds the alarm on Big Data and the mathematical models that threaten to rip apart our social fabric—with a new afterword “A manual for the twenty-first-century citizen . . . relevant and urgent.”—Financial Times NATIONAL BOOK AWARD LONGLIST • NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The New York Times Book Review • The Boston Globe • Wired • Fortune • Kirkus Reviews • The Guardian • Nature • On Point We live in the age of the algorithm. Increasingly, the decisions that affect our lives—where we go to school, whether we can get a job or a loan, how much we pay for health insurance—are being made not by humans, but by machines. In theory, this should lead to greater fairness: Everyone is judged according to the same rules. But as mathematician and data scientist Cathy O’Neil reveals, the mathematical models being used today are unregulated and uncontestable, even when they’re wrong. Most troubling, they reinforce discrimination—propping up the lucky, punishing the downtrodden, and undermining our democracy in the process. Welcome to the dark side of Big Data.

This book argues that media and capitalism no longer exist as separated entities, and posits three reasons why one can no longer exist without the other. Firstly, mass media have become indispensable to capitalism due to the media’s ability to sell the commodities of mass consumerism. Media capitalism also creates pro-capital attitudes among a target population and establishes an ideological hegemony. Thirdly, media capitalism provides mass deception to hide the pathologies of capitalism, which include mass poverty, rising inequalities, and the acceleration of global warming. To illuminate this, the book’s historical chapter traces the emergence of media capitalism. Its subsequent chapters show how media capitalism has infiltrated the public sphere, society, schools, universities, the world of work and finally, democracy. The book concludes by outlining how societies can transition from media capitalism to a post-media- capitalist society.

How can markets help us adapt to the challenges of climate change? Editor Terry L. Anderson brings together this collection of essays featuring the work of nine leading policy analysts, who argue that market forces are just as important as government regulation in shaping climate policy—and should be at the heart of our response to helping societies adapt to climate change. Anderson notes in his introduction that most current climate policies such as the Paris Agreement require hard-to-enforce collective action and focus on reducing or mitigating greenhouse gases rather than adapting to their negative effects. Adaptive actions can typically deliver much more, faster and more cheaply than any realistic climate policy. The authors tackle a range of issues: the hidden costs of renewable energy sources, the political obstacles surrounding climate change policy, insurance and financial instruments for pricing risk of exposure to the effects of climate change, and more. Reliance on emerging renewable energies and a carbon tax are not enough to prevent the effects of global warming, they argue. We must encourage more private action and market incentives to adapt to a rapidly changing climate.

Every new tractor now contains built-in sensors that collect data and stream it to cloud-based infrastructure. Seed and chemical companies are using these data, and these agribusinesses are a form of big tech alongside firms like Google and Facebook. The Immaculate Conception of Data peeks behind the secretive legal agreements surrounding agricultural big data to trace how it is used and with what consequences. Agribusinesses are among the oldest oligopoly corporations in the world, and their concentration gives them an advantage over other food system actors. Kelly Bronson explores what happens when big data get caught up in pre-existing arrangements of power. Her richly ethnographic account details the work of corporate scientists, farmers using the data, and activist “hackers” building open-source data platforms. Actors working in private and public contexts have divergent views on whom new technology is for, how it should be developed, and what kinds of agriculture it should support. Surprisingly, despite their differences, these groups share a way of speaking about data and its value for the future. Bronson calls this the immaculate conception of data, arguing that this phenomenon is a dangerous framework for imagining big data and what it might do for society. Drawing our attention to agriculture as an important new site for big tech criticism, The Immaculate Conception of Data uniquely bridges science and technology studies, critical data studies, and food studies, bringing to light salient issues related to data justice and a sustainable food system.

Análisis técnico y laboralista del impacto discriminatorio del uso de algoritmos en entornos laborales, y en particular por razón de sexo. Primer estudio transversal en materia de discriminación algorítmica en España, que incluye propuestas novedosas en materia de transparencia, y el análisis de herramientas de gestión que se están utilizando actualmente para calcular rendimientos y salarios, así como el abordaje jurídico de la tutela frente a situaciones de discriminación provocadas por el uso de algoritmos. Se plantea el análisis de la política de empleo y los mecanismos de acceso al empleo desde esta perspectiva, todo ello desde la clave central: la perspectiva de género Se proponen distintos mecanismos para abordar y paliar sus efectos, en el acceso al empleo, en el ámbito salarial (donde se analizan los sistemas automáticos de determinación de salarios y el uso de criptomonedas para garantizar la transparencia salarial), en las condiciones de trabajo en general, o en la salud laboral incluso (v.g. acoso sexista), así como su uso para desencriptar o detectar situaciones de interpretación sesgada de la ley en clave sexista. Asimismo, se aborda cómo intervenir en la formación técnica en computación para atajar los sesgos de diseño y en la minería de datos, a fin de introducir herramientas de inclusividad en el tratamiento de datos que alimentan los algoritmos. La visión interdisciplinar que se aporta pretende canalizarse hacia el ámbito laboral para introducir respuestas preventivas y reactivas o de tutela. Para ello la obra cuenta con iuslaboralistas, pero también con juristas de otras disciplinas, que en todos los casos han profundizado en distintos aspectos de la digitalización del trabajo o en la IA, robótica y tecnología aplicada al trabajo, así como con expertos desde los campos de la computación, referentes en aprendizaje automático y discriminación algorítmica.
