From the rear cover
"Predatory Data is a groundbreaking book that connects historical practices of eugenics to big data's contemporary challenges. Anita Say Chan highlights the power of community-based alternatives to extractive data rooted in feminist, people of color, and Indigenous perspectives. An essential book for anyone looking to envision more equitable technological futures."--Shaka McGlotten, author of Virtual Intimacies: Media, Affect, and Queer Sociality "Predatory Data is the framework that we have been waiting for--to refuse, resist, and reimagine new possibilities as a part of decolonizing algorithmic and data practices."--Nishant Shah, Associate Professor and Director of the Digital Narratives Studio, Chinese University of Hong Kong
