5 Book Recommendations by Murali Vasudevan
Stand Out of Our Light
James Williams
Argues that human freedom is threatened by systems of intelligent persuasion developed by tech giants who compete for our time and attention. This title is also available as Open Access.An important book to read on digital ethics, esp for students and freshers who are mindless in programming our world. It should also be a reminder, it is a very developed country view of the world. Thanks @NineDotsPrize, @WilliamsJames_ @nireyal https://t.co/1gOWrL1tFd
