How AI and Emerging Technologies Are Reinventing Misogyny
by Laura Bates
Misogyny is being hardwired into our future. Can we stop it?
We like to believe we're moving closer to equality, riding the wave of technological progress into a brighter, fairer future. But beneath the glossy surface of innovation lies a chilling truth: new technologies are not just failing to solve age-old inequalities―they're deepening them.
In The New Age of Sexism, acclaimed author and activist Laura Bates exposes how misogyny is being coded into the very fabric of our future. From the biases embedded in artificial intelligence to the alarming rise of sex robots and the toxic dynamics of the metaverse, Bates takes readers on a shocking journey into a world where technology is weaponized against women.
This isn't a dystopian warning about what might happen. It's a harrowing account of what's happening now and the dangers we face if we don't act. With clarity and urgency, Bates reveals how these advancements are dragging society backward, reinforcing harmful stereotypes, and jeopardizing decades of progress in the fight for gender equality.
Eye-opening and empowering, The New Age of Sexism is a rallying cry for awareness and action in a world where the battle for equality has entered a dangerous new frontier.
"This is a disquieting, Cassandra-like plea for a future that doesn't simply automate misogyny forever." —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"A powerful manifesto for a better future. Passionate and persuasive, Bates reveals how AI and tech fuel sexism―this is the wake-up call of our times." ―Marina Gerner, author of The Vagina Business
"An urgent call to action regarding the misogyny being hard-wired into our future. This is an eye-opening and terrifying read that demonstrates that artificial intelligence isn't the technology of some far off, science fiction tomorrow, it's already here. And the sexist, dehumanizing attitudes on social media and the Internet are its training ground. Women should really just be screaming all the time. I'll be adding Laura Bates' research and recommendations to my scream list." ―Rebecca Little, co-author of I'm Sorry for My Loss: An Urgent Examination of Reproductive Care in America
