About the Book

The contributors to Captivating Technology examine how carceral technologies such as electronic ankle monitors and predictive-policing algorithms are being deployed to classify and coerce specific populations and whether these innovations can be appropriated and reimagined for more liberatory ends.

Review :
"The book comes at a timely moment, contributing to pressing contemporary conversations about predictive algorithms, bias in AI, new modes of surveillance, and the myriad ways our increasingly technologically mediated lives are experienced unequally along lines of race, class, and gender. . . . Captivating Technology offers a meaningful contribution to public and scholarly discussions of technological (in)justice." - Naomi Zucker (Somatosphere) "Benjamin presents a rich and original contribution to critical studies of race and technoscience." - Clara Hick (Ethnic and Racial Studies) “Captivating Technology is a powerful and deeply creative text that excavates suppressed histories just as much as it works towards building new futures.” - Susila Gurusami (Surveillance & Society) “Captivating Technology...is an excellent collection that is compelling both in rich individual chapters and in the synthetic whole.... One of the strengths of this collective volume is its deliberate use of literary technologies.” - Vivette García-Deister and Anne Pollock (BioSocieties) “[Captivating Technology] is an ideal in action; unfettered by carceral imaginations, scholars can invent different worlds that replace-and not merely, through reform, extend-the discriminatory societies we have made together.” - David Theodore (Technology and Culture) "Benjamin’s edited volume Captivating Technology is bursting at the seams with exciting work from leading scholars on race and technoscience." - Courtney Tabor (Journal of Race and Policy)
