Virginia Eubanks discusses and signs her book "AUTOMATING INEQUALITY
How High-Tech Tools Profile, Police, and Punish the Poor." She systematically investigates the impacts of data mining, policy algorithms, and predictive risk models on poor and working-class people in America. The book is full of heart-wrenching and eye-opening stories, from a woman in Indiana whose benefits are literally cut off as she lays dying to a family in Pennsylvania in daily fear of losing their daughter because they fit a certain statistical profile.
