商品描述

Technology scholars declare an emergency: attention must be paid to the inequality, marginalization, and biases woven into our technological systems.

This book sounds an alarm: we can no longer afford to be lulled into complacency by narratives of techno-utopianism, or even techno-neutrality. We should not be reassured by such soothing generalities as human error, virtual reality, or the cloud. We need to realize that nothing is virtual: everything that happens online, virtually, or autonomously happens offline first, and often involves human beings whose labor is deliberately kept invisible. Everything is IRL. In Your Computer Is on Fire, technology scholars train a spotlight on the inequality, marginalization, and biases woven into our technological systems.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

科技學者宣告緊急：必須關注我們的技術系統中編織的貧富不均、邊緣化和偏見。

這本書敲響警鐘：我們再也無法容忍被科技烏托邦主義或甚至科技中立的敘事所麻痺。我們不應該被人為錯誤、虛擬實境或雲端等安撫性的一般說法所安慰。我們需要意識到，沒有任何事物是虛擬的：所有在線上、虛擬或自主發生的事情，首先都是在線下發生的，並且通常涉及那些其勞動被故意隱藏的人。所有的一切都是在現實生活中（IRL）。在Your Computer Is on Fire中，科技學者將焦點放在我們的技術系統中編織的貧富不均、邊緣化和偏見上。
