Rezensionen

'We urgently need sharp questions, better concepts, bold thinking and sensible proposals to make progress on the fundamental ambivalence of the rise of the use of algorithms in key areas of public policy: algorithms can make government smarter and more efficient - ànd they can generate a heap of unpleasant unintended consequences. This volume provides us with the analytical tools and careful reasoning that are required to come to terms with one of the most pervasive agents of change in our societies today.'

Paul 't Hart, Utrecht University School of Governance

'Algorithms have become key mediators of everyday life. Yet we are still grappling to understand their operations and effects. This timely book provides a thorough, insightful and richly illustrated analysis of algorithmic power, and is essential reading for those seeking to comprehend how algorithmic governance works in practice and why it matters.'
