Bureaucratic societies must provide standardized inputs for governing algorithms, a problem that can be understood as one of legibility. This requires, though, converting what we know about social objects and actions into data, narrowing the many possible representations of the objects to a definitive one using a series of translations. Information thus exists within a nexus of problems, data, models, and actions that the social actors constructing the data bring to it. This opens information to analysis from social and moral perspectives, while the scientistic view leaves us blind to the gains from such analysis—especially to the ways that embedded values and assumptions promote injustice. Toward Information Justice answers a key question for the 21st Century: how can an information-driven society be just? Many of those concerned with the ethics of data focus on control over data, and argue that if data is only controlled by the right people then just outcomes will emerge. There are serious problems with this control metaparadigm, however, especially related to the initial creation of data and prerequisites for its use.  This text is suitable for academics in the fields of information ethics, political theory, philosophy of technology, and science and technology studies, as well as policy professionals who rely on data to reach increasingly problematic conclusions about courses of action.Public Administration and Information Technology,2512-1812 ;33Public administrationPolitical scienceDatabase managementPublic Administrationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W34030Political Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911010Database Managementhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I18024Public administration.Political science.Database management.Public Administration.Political Theory.Database Management.351Johnsonauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut492597 Jeffrey Alan.344412BOOK9910299657103321Toward Information Justice4809534UNINA
