I've been anticipating this book for a LONG time, and it did not disappoint. Safiya Noble has written an outstanding, provocative, piercing analysis of the hidden ways search engines influence what information we see (and don't see). This should be required reading for anyone working in the information professions.

An interesting study on how algorithms and search engines aren't as neutral and unbiased as they first appear, and how that impacts our understandings of race and gender in the 21st century.

Dr. Safiya Umoja Noble deconstructs the myth of online democracy with this brilliant illustration of how white male supremacy has adapted its course to the ever expanding reaches of the internet!
