Filterworld: How Algorithms Flattened Culture by Kyle Chayka

3.0

dark informative sad slow-paced

This book should have been an essay. While I'm glad to have this lens to view the world through, Chayka's impact was flattened by repetition in both argument and format. Like, stop harping on minimalist cafés even after learning that the aesthetic was propelled by limited means to open businesses and recycling old materials, damn.
