Reviews

'Exploring the societal sea changes that emerge from the unleashed power of data-driven personalization, Uta Kohl and Jacob Eisler are gifting us a book that is the intellectual equivalent of a beautiful flower bouquet: a diverse and colorful, yet carefully chosen and elegantly arranged set of contributions from scholars representing different disciplines, perspectives, and temperaments, making it an insightful collection that is more than the sum of its individual parts.' Urs Gasser, Executive Director, Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society and Professor of Practice, Harvard Law School 'With vision and panache, Kohl and Eisler, and their contributing authors, identify the hidden perils of the 'personalisation' phenomenon and boldly ask whether its apparent benefits of a 'close personal fit' and efficiency can ever outweigh the damage done to individual agency and communal solidarity, or to our aspirations of equality. Invaluable insights for the policy and legal debates on the use of predictive algorithms in politics, markets and law, which are upon us.' Paul De Hert, Vrije Universiteit Brussels, Tilburg University
