Geographies of Digital Exclusion: Data Power and Inequality

This book looks at the key countours of information inquality, and who, what and where gets left out. Platforms like Google Maps and Wikipedia have become important gateways to understanding the world, and yet they are characterised by significant gaps and biases, often driven by processes of exclusion. As a result, their digital augmantations tend to be refractions rather then reflections: they highlight only some facets of the world at the expense of others. By outlining the mechanisms through wich our digital and world intersect, the authors conclude with a roadmap for what alternative digital geographies might look like.
