As a woman working in tech, I thought I was already well aware of how rapidly advancing technologies can reinforce misogyny. However, this book made me realize that I was only aware of perhaps 30% of what is actually happening today. My key takeaway is that women are often the primary victims of the misuse of technologies largely invented and shaped by men, and that the industry is frequently willing to overlook these harms in pursuit of rapid growth. The argument for rapid growth cannot excuse such intentional negligence.
