In 'Weapons of Math Destruction,' author Cathy O'Neil navigates the unsettling world where algorithms and Big Data dictate many aspects of our lives, from education and employment to insurance and policing. Demystifying the complex models that are unregulated and invisible to the public eye, O'Neil exposes their capacity to perpetuate inequality and damage our democratic fabric. She delivers an incisive critique of the blind faith placed in mathematical models, invoking urgent calls for accountability and transparency. This book is an eye-opener for anyone engaged in or affected by the digital age, stressing the need for a critical assessment of the systems that increasingly govern our individual and collective futures.
