Cover of Weapons of Math Destruction by Cathy O'Neil

Weapons of Math Destruction

Cathy O'Neil

Still one of the clearest books for explaining why maths (and by extension technology it powers) is not automatically neutral. Models make decisions, decisions shape lives, and the harm often hides behind efficiency language. Also loved that the book had a lot of concrete case studies. I quite enjoyed it overall.
