In the Influencer Book Club over at Amazon Book Clubs, we’ll read “Filterworld: How Algorithms Flattened Culture,” by Kyle Chaka (via Amazon; affiliate link).

The author is a New Yorker staff writer.

“Kyle Chayka shows us how online and offline spaces alike have been engineered for seamless consumption, becoming a source of pervasive anxiety in the process. Users of technology have been forced to contend with data-driven equations that try to anticipate their desires—and often get them wrong. What results is a state of docility that allows tech companies to curtail human experiences—human lives—for profit. But to have our tastes, behaviors, and emotions governed by computers, while convenient, does nothing short of call the very notion of free will into question.”
