Description
This lively graphic novel follows a diverse group of teenage friends as they discover that computing can be fun, creative, and empowering. Taylor, Christine, Antonio, and Jon seem like typical young teens -- they communicate via endless texting, they share jokes, they worry about starting high school, and they have each other's backs. But when a Black man is shot and killed by police in their city, they are outraged -- and then they learn that he had been misidentified and tracked by an artificial intelligence program. How can an algorithm be racist? And what is an algorithm, anyway?
