Hello World

Why read it

• You will notice how design can shut people out, from bridges built too low for buses to a soap dispenser blind to dark skin

• You will get a question to ask of any new technology: what quiet control might it hold over people?

Who it is for

• Professional using algorithms to make decisions about people
• Citizen uneasy about data and automated decisions
• Reader who is neither a coder nor a technophobe
