The Metric Society: On the Quantification of the Social
Steffen Mau
Star ratings, scores and likes: today data is collected on almost every aspect of our lives. In this new book, Steffen Mau shows that though the intention may have been to build trust, metrics have become a form of social conditioning. Ultimately, the ubiquitous language of ranking and comparison is shaping life chances and deepening inequality.
