Description
Influential Machines: A New Framework for Understanding Computational Performance Miles C. Coleman explores how algorithms shape our digital world, revealing the ways in which machines generate meaning and influence human action. From Twitter bots that satirize politicians to virtual assistants that offer insight, Coleman examines the "deep end" of computing - a site of ambient rhetoric essential for understanding modern computing. He considers the implications of machine communication, asking whether humans are the appropriate reference for designing machine communication. Coleman's analysis draws on varied examples, including an anti-vax "vaccine calculator," to shed light on the role of machines as social agents in our lives.
