Filterworld: How Algorithms Flattened Culture by Kyle Chayka

informative reflective fast-paced

While I agree with many points these essays bring up, I think the wider roll of marketing is ignored for an easier villain in the computerized algorithm. The idea of the context of things being lost as social media changes feels very ponient with Instagram today, it's a point that gets lost in a lot of anecdotes and would have been better served in a standalone essay. These good points feel belabored for page count.
