b'
Cathy O\\u2019Neil is the author of the bestselling book\\xa0Weapons of Math Destruction. Her new book is The Shame Machine: Who Profits in the New Age of Humiliation.
O\\u2019Neil explains the power of shame and how in today\\u2019s society it is amplified in potentially dangerous and life altering ways by algorithms, social media companies, and big data.
She also details the often contradictory and nonsensical relationship between so-called \\u201ccancel culture\\u201d and shame.
O\\u2019Neil also explores the complex dynamics at work surrounding questions of public shaming, resistance, white privilege, white supremacy and the so-called \\u201cKaren\\u201d and \\u201cBarbecue Becky\\u201d phenomenon.
