Description
Algorithms have become the unseen architects of our culture, shaping our experiences and choices in ways both subtle and profound. From the restaurants we visit to the city grids we navigate, and from the music we listen to the friends we stay in touch with, the influence of algorithms is ubiquitous.
Kyle Chayka's new book, Filterworld, is a timely investigation into the world ruled by algorithms, and the ways in which they are transforming our lives. Chayka explores how online and offline spaces alike have been engineered for seamless consumption, and the consequences of this for our sense of free will and human experience.
As we become increasingly accustomed to the insipid new normal, Chayka shows us how the web of mathematically determined decisions that underpins our digital, physical, and psychological lives is taking on a life of its own. With Filterworld, Chayka offers a thought-provoking examination of the impact of algorithms on our culture, and the implications for our future.
