Geographies of Digital Exclusion: Data and Inequality Graham Mark
Today's urban environments are layered with data and algorithms that fundamentally shape how we perceive and move through space. This book looks at the key contours of information inequality, and who, what, and where gets left out when space becomes digital.Platforms like Google Maps and Wikipedia have become important gateways to understanding the world. Now that over half of humanity is connected to the internet, are our digitally dense environments continuing to amplify inequalities rather than alleviate them?
As a consequence, their digital augmentations tend to be refractions rather than reflections: they highlight only some facets of the world at the expense of others.However, this doesn't mean that more equitable futures aren't possible. This book reveals how these platforms are characterised by significant gaps and biases, often driven by processes of exclusion.
