Summary
"Nearly every aspect of our lives is measured, ranked, and turned into data that computers use to make predictions about our trustworthiness, purchasing power, even political views. The Ordinal Society shows how these predictions structure life chances, producing a hollow morality that recycles familiar structures of social advantage into merit."-- Provided by publisher.
