Kashmir Hill has been working on a book about facial recognition technology for the last three years. In doing so, she tracked down the early pioneers, found the people fighting against the worst impulses for the technology, and dove into the history of Clearview AI, the ground-breaking startup that first drew her into the topic by building a radical person-finding app that giants in the field, including Google and Facebook, had deemed taboo. Full of previously unreported information and scoops, it will leave readers with a greater understanding of how we got to this point and how to prepare for the future to come.

Kashmir Hill is a tech reporter at The New York Times and the author of YOUR FACE BELONGS TO US. She writes about the unexpected and sometimes ominous ways technology is changing our lives, particularly when it comes to our privacy. She joined The Times in 2019, after having worked at Gizmodo Media Group, Fusion, Forbes Magazine, and Above the Law. Her writing has appeared in The New Yorker and The Washington Post. She has degrees from Duke University and New York University, where she studied journalism.
