★ 前華爾街量化分析師揭露：演算法如何操控你的未來★ 大數據黑暗面全面曝光：看不見的歧視與不公平我們以為世界正變得更公平——由機器取代人類做決策，似乎能消除偏見。但真相，可能正好相反。在這個「演算法主宰」的時代，你能否錄取學校、拿到工作、申請貸款，甚至保險費率高低，都悄悄被一套看不見的數學模型決定。這些系統看似客觀，卻無法被檢驗，也無從質疑，一旦出錯，影響卻會層層放大。數學家暨資料科學家凱西．歐尼爾，以親身經驗揭開大數據的陰暗面：這些模型不只沒有消除不平等，反而強化既有的階級與歧視，讓弱勢更難翻身。本書如同一場警醒之旅，帶你看見科技背後不為人知的權力運作。NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A former Wall Street quant sounds the alarm on Big Data and the mathematical models that threaten to rip apart our social fabric—with a new afterword“A manual for the twenty-first-century citizen . . . relevant and urgent.”—Financial TimesNATIONAL BOOK AWARD LONGLIST • NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The New York Times Book Review • The Boston Globe • Wired • Fortune • Kirkus Reviews • The Guardian • Nature • On PointWe live in the age of the algorithm.

This is the story of Blue, a T-Rex who navigates the life of being an investment banker. Blue adapts to the customs, lingo, and schedule of his workplace culture, offering humorous insights into the struggles of fitting in and changing. As time goes on, Blue finds that he misses the jungle he came from and his dinosaur friends, and questions the tedious cycle of meetings, overtimes, and early mornings, sparking a reflection on the true meaning of his dreams.This T-Rex’s story is meant to represent the sharp reality many young adults find when they actually achieve their dreams. Whether that is a dream career, college, or relationship, the magic of the dream is often not as it seems. This is not to discourage people from pursuing their dreams, but to show that dreams bend, change, and shift over time. ◎代理經銷：白象文化更多精彩內容請見http://www.pressstore.com.tw/freereading/9786263648654.pdf
