Race After Technology: Abolitionist Tools for the New Jim Code (2019)

Takes the recognition that AI is racist and perpetuates injustice to its logical end point: how to resist technology and abolish tools of algorithmic oppression.

Read it asking: Is technological abolitionism a version of Luddism?
