The Secret Life of Data: Navigating Hype and Uncertainty in the Age of Algorithmic Surveillance by Aram Sinnreich, Jesse Gilbert

3.75

3.75✨ very insightful & terrifying lol. Audiobooked this & it was a bit difficult to get through as the narrator sounded like a teleprompter come to life but alas I persisted since data tracking etc isn’t a realm I’m very familiar with! I’m glad I did as I certainly feel more enlightened & will continue to think about data critically. Some things weren’t new to me (ie Snowden or social media’s impact on people’s lives) but others were fascinating. As the secret life of data and AI continue to infiltrate our world, I want to make an effort to seek out this kind of information & I encourage others to do the same!
