“System Error” is a remarkable opportunity for the reader to access an incredible teaching team, frankly and entertainingly walking you through some of the biggest challenges and opportunities in the big tech space。 Each author (computer scientist, government practitioner, philosopher) brings a unique and complementary perspective to this work – a true testament to the power of writing in teams when done well。 From the unique vantage point of Silicon Valley, the authors share firsthand perspecti “System Error” is a remarkable opportunity for the reader to access an incredible teaching team, frankly and entertainingly walking you through some of the biggest challenges and opportunities in the big tech space。 Each author (computer scientist, government practitioner, philosopher) brings a unique and complementary perspective to this work – a true testament to the power of writing in teams when done well。 From the unique vantage point of Silicon Valley, the authors share firsthand perspective and anecdotes on some of the most pressing subject matters to American democracy today: algorithms, data privacy, free speech, and market regulation of our information ecosystem。 Throughout, they offer us probing questions for reflection as both voters and consumers of social media, and a variety of practical, real-world solutions for action。 This is a must read for all American citizens interested in the health of democracy (to clarify, that’s everyone!)。 。。。more
