Hello World: Being Human in the Age of Algorithms by Hannah Fry

4.0

This is "Weapons of Math Destruction", but less pessimistic, with a less-punchy title, and it is British. So, it is British. So when I started, I was skeptical. But frankly, it's probably the better book, a little more even-handed. The end solution to our algorithmic problems is a human-in-the-loop, as they say, combined with making sure we recognize algorithms are not gods, they're just tools which can be poorly made and badly used - or well made or well used. Not a bad place for a book to land, and Fry's writing is plenty accessible.
