Algorithm: a network of mathematically determined choices. To have our tastes, behaviours, and emotions governed by computers, does nothing short of call the very notion of free will into question. Over the last decade, Kyle Chayka has studied the homogeneity of this curation of reality. Chayka lucidly examines how this deeply filtered aesthetic - spanning digital and physical spaces - creates an uncanny blend of work, home, and social life. Chayka shows us how to disconnect from the tyranny of the algorithms that continue to override our sensibilities, and inform even our most intimate, real-world interactions.
