From finding a spouse to finding a parking spot, from organizing one's inbox to understanding the workings of human memory, Algorithms to Live By transforms the wisdom of computer science into strategies for human living.

Every day, we use our computers to perform remarkable feats. A simple web search picks out a handful of relevant needles from the world's biggest haystack. Uploading a photo to Facebook transmits millions of pieces of information over numerous error-prone network links, yet somehow a perfect copy of the photo arrives intact. Without even knowing it, we use public-key cryptography to transmit secret information like credit card numbers, and we use digital signatures to verify the identity of the websites we visit.

مايك والش، المستقبلي والرحالة العالمي، قام بتجميع سنوات من البحث والمقابلات مع نخبة من قادة الأعمال العالميين ورواد الذكاء الاصطناعي وعلماء البيانات في مجموعة من عشرة مبادئ حول متطلبات النجاح في العصر الخوارزمي. وعبر ثقافات وصناعات ونطاقات زمنية متباينة، يحيي والش تاريخ ومستقبل أفكار مثل التفكير الاحتمالي، وتعلم الآلة، والأخلاقيات الرقمية، والابتكار الثوري، والمنظمات اللامركزية كأساس لنهج جديد جذريًا في اتخاذ القرارات، وحل المشكلات، وقيادة الناس.

Aram Sinnreich and Jesse Gilbert explore the many unpredictable, and often surprising, ways in which data surveillance, AI, and the constant presence of algorithms impact our culture and society in the age of global networks. The authors build on this basic premise: no matter what form data takes, and what purpose we think it’s being used for, data will always have a secret life. How this data will be used, by other people in other times and places, has profound implications for every aspect of our lives—from our intimate relationships to our professional lives to our political systems.
