This book critically examines the intersection of technology and race, revealing how digital tools and platforms often perpetuate existing racial biases and inequalities. It delves into the concept of the "New Jim Code," where discriminatory designs are embedded in the architecture of various technologies, from automated decision-making systems to predictive policing algorithms. The author challenges the notion that technology is neutral, arguing that it often reinforces systemic discrimination, and calls for a more inclusive and equitable approach to tech development that actively confronts and dismantles these embedded prejudices.
