MORE THAN A GLITCH: CONFRONTING RACE, GENDER, AND ABILITY BIAS IN TECH,
BY MEREDITH BROUSSARD, Monday, November 30, 6:30 PM
We tend to think of tech failures as one-off errors that someone will fix. Data journalist and NYU professor Meredith Broussard argues that racism, sexism, and ableism are built into the systems themselves. She looks at facial recognition, mortgage-approval algorithms, and medical technology, and she explains how it all works without the jargon, along with what it would take to build better.
Why we chose it: This one was nominated and voted on by our book club members! We hear “the algorithm” blamed for everything, and Broussard’s eye-opening book explains what’s actually going on and who gets left out when technology is built. She writes for non-experts, and it’s a short read at under 250 pages.
