Rated Weapons of Math Destruction: How Big Data Increases Inequality and Threatens Democracy 8/10

Liked the book and the structure very much. I liked especially that the author focuses not so much on the few massive data leakages, but on the patterns that make an algorithm a self-perpetuating WMP. From that perspective, examples weren't too repetitive, but helped to understand the pattern instead.<br/><br/>I also liked the last chapter on how to fix the mess we are in and the way forward, although it was way too short and–sadly–disproportional to the rest of the book, in my opinion.
