Abstract
Abstract As algorithms increasingly shape everyday life, calls for algorithmic literacy have grown but often narrowly define it as technical competence in service of social and industrial progress. The introductory chapter proposes an alternative vision: algorithmic literacy as a foundation for bottom-up governance, which prioritizes the insights of those affected by algorithmic systems in shaping how they are designed and deployed. This participatory model aims to challenge algorithmic power, defined here as both the reproduction of structural inequalities and the shaping of behavior. Yet, the path from algorithmic literacy to bottom-up governance is not certain or direct, because what people know about algorithms represents a social and political negotiation of meaning and authority. To support more just algorithmic futures, the book argues for an expanded horizon of what counts as legitimate and consequential knowledge of algorithms.
