Buying groceries, tracking our health, finding a date: whatever we want to do, odds are that we can now do it online. But few of us ask how all these digital products are designed, or why. It's time we change that. Many of the services we rely on are full of oversights, biases, and downright ethical nightmares. Chatbots that harass women. Signup forms that fail anyone who's not straight. Social media sites that send peppy messages about dead relatives. Algorithms that put more black people behind bars. Technically Wrong takes an unflinching look at the values, processes, and assumptions that lead to these problems and more. Wachter-Boettcher demystifies the tech industry, leaving those of us on the other side of the screen better prepared to make informed choices about the services we use-and demand more from the companies behind them.

Who is the target audience? Tech/design industry folks or outsiders? The jargon and references were inconsistent enough times that it never sat well with me.
This felt at times like a lot of anecdotes strung loosely together, and I had to glance at the chapter title or flip back a few pages to remember what the theme was.
What is the major takeaway? The tech industry has flaws? Here is a list of socioculturally oriented flaws? Here are ways to address those flaws? And again, it depends on whether this book is intended for tech professionals, laypeople, etc.
This was an ambitious effort and an eye-opening read even for those of us familiar with these issues, but the execution needed polish to keep it cohesive. (
