Recenzii
Power and Technology presents a framework for talking about the social relations of technology and power. In the first half of the book Sattarov provides a thorough review of the literature on theories of power. The breadth is excellent, and the author does not get bogged down in canon or author favorites. The literature review builds an understanding of tools and approaches at one's disposal in talking about technology and power. In the second half of the book Sattarov applies these approaches in addressing the relations of technology and power in the ethical context. There is an excellent discussion of algorithms and how they are laden with ethical and cultural assumptions that help maintain the status quo of power relations. In more abstract chapters, the author pulls in many examples to look at how power and ethics are manifest in technology. This book will be an excellent resource for those interested in the intersection of technology and power, and could also be useful in the classroom. . . it is assembled in a very accessible and usable fashion.
Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty and professionals.
In this thoughtful and intelligent book, Sattarov develops a comprehensive framework for understanding the relationship between power and algorithms. The nuanced approach to power taken here allows for an understanding of many relationships between power and algorithms rather than a simple, essentialist view of algorithmic power. This approach offers an invaluable contribution to understanding power in our algorithm-infused world.
Sattorov's empirically grounded inter-disciplinary work sheds much needed light on the dynamics of power and provides us with the tools that will enable us to better grapple with the illusions of democratization and empowerment that often surround discourses on new technologies, innovation and intelligent machines. The distinctions he provides and the narratives he weaves into his thesis will provide a solid foundation for much needed research on the hidden resistances of power and the dangers of uncritically embracing technological solutionism.
With his conceptual analysis of the nexus between technology and power, Faridun Sattarov has contributed to addressing what is most certainly one of the most urgent topics of our time. A convincing argument for a pluralist approach to power and a must read for philosophers of technology.
The most thorough treatment to date of the important issue of the relation between technology and power
