Wow, honestly thought maybe you had abandoned this book project, hadn’t heard anything in soooo long (and like there’s new material everyday), so happy to hear!
Hi Cathy! I’m writting an essay about Weapons of Math Destruction for my English class and I was wondering if you think society has made positive progress in mitigating the harms of WMDs since the publication of your book?
I think awareness has increased a ton! And progress has been made in the area of facial recognition, thanks to projects like Gender Shades and the Algorithmic Justice League. We have a long way to go in most other industries.
Congratulations, Cathy! Can’t wait to read it. Have pre-ordered it. March 22nd is still the official publishing date?

Congrats also, I’ll be picking it up R.S.N., I’d like to see a set of Zoom talks links as I also enjoy the Author’s video/oral point of view. Thanks.
