«Weapons of Math Destruction» is Cathy O'Neil's essay on how big data increases inequality, published by Crown in paperback, in English.
Cathy O'Neil, mathematician and data scientist, denounces that the mathematical models deciding on education, employment or credit are unregulated and almost incontestable. They present themselves as neutral, but reinforce discrimination; the author calls for public regulation and more accountability for their creators.

Aimed at readers interested in the social impact of technology, data analysis and public policy.
