  1. Weapons of Math Destruction is a very important book that seeks to call to account algorithm-based automated computer systems which are increasingly making decisions about a whole range of aspects of our lives. With a Harvard Doctorate in algebraic number theory, Cathy O’Neill has an insider’s of view of WMDs, having both lectured on the subject and subsequently worked for a Hedge Fund on Wall Street at the time of the 2008 crash.
