What Hacker News says
- It is a good article, but this is an important topic. I prefer the more in depth book “The Shame Machine” by Cathy O’Neil that I bought last week (book was just published).
Human nature will be human nature, but I feel we need to recognize corporate owned automated profit systems and not fail to understand the threats they pose.
- This is a review of Cathy O'Neil's book The Shame Machine. I haven't read it but her earlier book "Weapons of Math Destruction" is great.

About half of the article is dedicated to "The Shame Machine" and O'Neil so I don't think it's an either-or. The article is contrasting her thoughts with those of others.
