About Data Conscience
Data Conscience: Algorithmic Siege on our Humanity delivers an incisive and eye-opening discussion of how to fix tech’s dominant philosophy of “move fast and break things” with a renewed focus on equity and oppression. The book explores how to address discrimination in the digital data space with several known algorithms, including social network analysis, linear regression and sentiment analysis.

Your book is really accessible."
