About this event
The Culture and Technology Book club brings readers together once a month to discuss new and classic books that raise important questions about the way technology transforms our cultural and political lives. The group will read on relevant topics related to social media, innovation, surveillance and digital identity.
This month we will discuss The Shame Machine by Cathy O'Neil, American mathematician, data scientist, and author of Weapons of Math Destruction: "A clear-eyed warning about the increasingly destructive influence of America's 'shame-industrial complex' in the age of social media and hyperpartisan politics."
