What identity means in an algorithmic age: how it works, how our lives are controlled by it, and how we can resist itAlgorithms are everywhere, organizing the near limitless data that exists in our world. These complex configurations not only form knowledge and social relationships in the digital and physical world, but also determine who we are and who we can be, both on and offline.Algorithms create and recreate us, using our data to assign and reassign our gender, race, sexuality, and citizenship status. Derived from our every search, like, click, and purchase, algorithms determine the news we get, the ads we see, the information accessible to us and even who our friends are.
In this era of ubiquitous surveillance, contemporary data collection entails more than gathering information about us. They can recognize us as celebrities or mark us as terrorists.
