Algorithms of Oppression: How Search Engines Reinforce Racism is 2018 non-fiction book by Safiya Umoja Noble.[2][1][3]

Critical reception

PopMatters described that the Alroithms of Opression "demonstrate that search engines, and in particular Google, are not simply imperfect machines, but systems designed by humans in ways that replicate the power structures of the western countries where they are built, complete with all the sexism and racism that are built into those structures."[2]
