Review Quotes:
"Algorithms of Education is an essential guide to the possibilities and political implications of artificial intelligence in education policy and governance.

"The authors put forward a number of interesting thoughts, conceptualisations and approaches worth taking up by other scholars."--International Review of Education
"This book starts shedding light on the otherwise mystifying, and in some cases impenetrable, machinations of synthetic governance and its growing encroachment into education."--Journal of Education Policy
