Technically Wrong

Sara Wachter-Boettcher analyzes how forms, product copy, defaults, and tech workplace cultures exclude gendered, racialized, and embodied difference from the “normal user.”

Technically Wrong

📝 Book Review & Summary

This book belongs in FemRes because it treats technology as a feminist problem of power, labor, embodiment, and knowledge, not as a neutral tool. For readers, it expands digital feminism beyond representation: Sara Wachter-Boettcher analyzes how forms, product copy, defaults, and tech workplace cultures exclude gendered, racialized, and embodied difference from the “normal user.”

It is especially useful alongside FemRes topics on AI ethics, data justice, digital labor, cyberfeminism, and design justice, where technical systems are read as social arrangements.
