Dr. Mario DeSean Booker exposes how artificial intelligence systems operate as sophisticated mechanisms of racial control, perpetuating segregation through computational processes while claiming mathematical objectivity. This comprehensive analysis documents "algorithmic Jim Crow"-automated discrimination reproducing historical exclusion patterns at unprecedented scale.

Through empirical research spanning corporate documents, demographic mapping, and community organizing across continents, Booker reveals calculated strategies behind technology infrastructure placement. From xAI's environmental racism in Memphis-gas turbines poisoning a historically Black community with cancer rates four times the national average-to rare earth extraction networks devastating Congolese villages for Silicon Valley's "clean" technology, this work traces digital colonialism's planetary scope.

Integrating environmental justice theory with critical technology studies, Booker demonstrates how AI development systematically concentrates benefits among wealthy elites while externalizing costs to marginalized populations worldwide. His spatial analysis reveals 68% of surveillance infrastructure targets communities of color, while energy consumption research documents the physical impossibility of current AI growth trajectories within planetary boundaries.

Yet this transcends harm documentation. Through case studies of successful resistance-Memphis community organizing against corporate power, Oaxacan indigenous telecommunications cooperatives-Booker provides frameworks for democratic technology governance. His international comparative research proves community-controlled alternatives are practical models already operational globally.

As algorithmic systems proliferate and climate change accelerates, this book offers essential tools for scholars, policymakers, organizers, and technology workers committed to ensuring digital development serves human flourishing rather than computational oppression.

The evidence is systematic. The analysis is comprehensive. The choice for justice remains ours.
