Technology is a powerful force in our society. Data, software, and communication can
be used for bad: to entrench unfair power structures, to undermine human rights, and
to protect vested interests. But they can also be used for good: to make underrepresented
people’s voices heard, to create opportunities for everyone, and to avert disasters. This
book is dedicated to everyone working toward the good.
