Description
Algorithms have become an integral part of our cultural and artistic lives, shaping our experiences and influencing our choices. From online recommendations to urban planning, these mathematical determinations have created a 'Filterworld' that governs our tastes, behaviours, and emotions.
Internationally recognized journalist Kyle Chayka explores how this web of algorithmic choices has taken over, often unnoticed, and how it affects our understanding of free will and personal freedom in the digital age. He delves into the ways in which online and offline spaces are engineered for seamless consumption, and how this curation influences the very shape of culture itself.
Filterworld is a thought-provoking investigation into the rise of the algorithm and its potential impact on our society. Chayka's compelling narrative sheds light on the urgent question of whether personal freedom is possible on the Internet.
