Introduction

The rapid pace of technological progress makes for sensational stories that can seem far removed from our everyday realities.

But whether we realize it or not, technological developments are changing the way our societies operate.

From how we work, socialize, and raise our families to how we experience education, health care, and the legal system, our lives are increasingly dictated by algorithms.

System Error: Where Big Tech Went Wrong and How We Can Reboot is a 2021 book from Stanford professors Rob Reich, Mehran Sahami, and Jeremy M. Weinstein.

The book is a measured look at what the rise in technology means, the problems that have arisen, and how we can act collectively to ensure the things we value most about being human are not lost in the race for optimization and automation.
