Filterworld: How Algorithms Flattened Culture by Kyle Chayka

4.25

informative reflective medium-paced

This was exactly what I was hoping to get from this type of book. There were so many great discussions from chapter to chapter discussing our current obsession with the internet and influences algorithms have on our daily actions. This gave me so much to think to about and makes me really happy that I’ve been working towards limited my social media usage. My favorite part was near the end on his discussion surrounding curtain and the importance of human involvement in maintaining culture and expanding your experiences in different formats of entertainment. I wish there was more information in the back for references on this topic, it would be great to learn more.
