Filterworld: How Algorithms Flattened Culture by Kyle Chayka

informative reflective slow-paced

The premise was interesting and I appreciated that he didn’t write a doom and gloom anti-algorithm manifesto (not that he’s writing a happy-clappy support of algorithms either). The writing didn’t flow that well, to me, and I kept struggling to come back to it. I definitely agree with the idea of taking an interest in curation rather than letting the apps do it all.
