Summary

From coffee shops to city grids to TikTok feeds and Netflix homepages the world round, algorithmic recommendations dictate our experiences. This network of mathematically determined choices - the 'filterworld' - has taken over, almost unnoticed, as we've grown accustomed to an insipid new normal. But to have our tastes, behaviours, and emotions governed by computers calls the very notion of free will into question. From New Yorker staff writer and author of 'The Longing for Less' Kyle Chayka comes a timely history and investigation of a world ruled by algorithms, which determine the shape of culture itself.
