Product Information

When technology reinforces inequality, it's not just a glitch-it's a signal that we need to redesign our systems to create a more equitable world. The word "glitch" implies an incidental error, as easy to patch up as it is to identify. But what if racism, sexism, and ableism aren't just bugs in mostly functional machinery-what if they're coded into the system itself? In the vein of heavy hitters such as Safiya Umoja Noble, Cathy O'Neil, and Ruha Benjamin, Meredith Broussard demonstrates in More Than a Glitch how neutrality in tech is a myth and why algorithms need to be held accountable. Broussard, a data scientist and one of the few Black female researchers in artificial intelligence, masterfully synthesizes concepts from computer science and sociology. She explores a range of examples- from facial recognition technology trained only to recognize lighter skin tones, to mortgage-approval algorithms that encourage discriminatory lending, to the dangerous feedback loops that arise when medical diagnostic algorithms are trained on insufficiently diverse data. Even when such technologies are designed with good intentions, Broussard shows, fallible humans develop programs that can result in devastating consequences. Broussard argues that the solution isn't to make omnipresent tech more inclusive, but to root out the algorithms that target certain demographics as "other" to begin with. With sweeping implications for fields ranging from jurisprudence to medicine, the ground-breaking insights of More Than a Glitch are essential reading for anyone invested in building a more equitable future.

Included in The Enterprisers Project's "10 must-read tech books for 2023" Included in the Next Big Idea Club's "40 Nonfiction Books to Watch Out for in 2023" Included in Ms . magazine's "The Most Anticipated Feminist Books of 2023" list Included in Cosmopolitan 's "11 Best New Nonfiction Books to Add to Your TBR Pile in 2023" "Telling the stories of individuals from marginalized communities who have been wronged by technology, the author shows how design and conceptual failures produce unfair outcomes...The stories enrage and drive home the cost of the failures and prejudices built into ostensibly cutting-edge programs. This sobering warning about the dangers of technology alarms and unsettles." - Publishers Weekly "Broussard brings her perspective as a multiracial woman, data journalist, and computer scientist to an eye-opening critique of racism, sexism, and ableism in technology. She decries technochauvinism, which she defines as 'a kind of bias that considers computational solutions to be superior to all other solutions'...An informed analysis of one of the insidious elements of technology." - Kirkus Reviews "With her latest book, Meredith Broussard picks up on the threads of Safiya Noble and Ruha Benjamin as she demonstrates how technology reinforces injustice through its ubiquitous algorithms and questionable human interactions." - Ms. "People like to think of technology as a neutral force, but the truth is that racism, sexism, and ableism are often coded right into the tech systems we use every day (like how facial recognition technology is primed to work on lighter skin, or how mortgage-approval algorithms lead to discriminatory lending). It's an important topic in an increasingly tech-reliant world, and More Than a Glitch is a great place to start learning about it." - Cosmopolitan "Broussard's book is distinguished by at least two elements: its extraordinarily expansive scope on the one hand, and its no-nonsense approach to both the problem and its solutions on the other...It is undeniably hard not to be overwhelmed by the seemingly unstoppable course of technological development in the contemporary world, especially around AI and everything it appears poised to reinvent. But cynicism can also be a hiding place for privilege, and those who say despairingly that nothing can be done are often those who stand to benefit most from nothing being done." - The Conversation "Why you should read it: You're a tech leader who understands that there is always bias in modern technologies - you recognize the fallibility of humans - but you want to learn about potential solutions to this problem. Explore the frameworks that target specific demographics as "other" in the first place. This is essential reading for anyone invested in building a more equitable future." - The Enterprisers Project "When technology reinforces inequality, it's not just a glitch--it's a signal that we need to redesign our systems to create a more equitable world." - The Next Big Idea Club, Included in The Enterprisers Project's "10 must-read tech books for 2023" "Why you should read it: You're a tech leader who understands that there is always bias in modern technologies - you recognize the fallibility of humans - but you want to learn about potential solutions to this problem.
