She shows how automated systems, rather than humans, control which neighborhoods get policed, which families attain needed resources, and who is investigated for fraud. While we all live under this new regime of data, the most invasive and punitive systems are aimed at the poor. -- adapted from jacket.}, recid = {890015}, pages = {260 pages :}, }
