New Dark Age: Technology and the End of the Future by James Bridle

Argues for a world view that I haven't quite seen articulated anywhere else, but that I think all of us feel deep down - that our society is awash in data and algorithmic content, that we don't know what to do about it, and that paradoxically this increase in information is also making it far harder to get any real information.

The writing was pretty hard to parse at some points and some of the examples seemed like a stretch to fit into the overarching theme, but still an interesting read.
