520    "From everyday apps to complex algorithms, Ruha Benjamin 
       cuts through tech-industry hype to understand how emerging
       technologies can reinforce white supremacy and deepen 
       social inequity. Far from a sinister story of racist 
       programmers scheming on the dark web, Benjamin argues that
       automation has the potential to hide, speed, and even 
       deepen discrimination, while appearing neutral and even 
       benevolent when compared to racism of a previous era. 
       Presenting the concept of the New Jim Code, she shows how 
       a range of discriminatory designs encode inequity: by 
       explicitly amplifying racial hierarchies, by ignoring but 
       thereby replicating social divisions, or by aiming to fix 
       racial bias but ultimately doing quite the opposite. 
       Moreover, she makes a compelling case for race itself as a
       kind of tool a technology designed to stratify and 
       sanctify social injustice that is part of the architecture
       of everyday life. This illuminating guide into the world 
       of biased bots, altruistic algorithms, and their many 
       entanglements provides conceptual tools to decode tech 
       promises with sociologically informed skepticism. In doing
       so, it challenges us to question not only the technologies
       we are sold, but also the ones we manufacture ourselves"--
