Algorithms aim to make our lives simpler and easier. But that isn't always the case. Luke Dormehl takes us into the world of artificial intelligence, Silicon Valley companies, and mathematicians that create these formulas, giving us a view of what makes these mysterious and promising methods actually work. Are they all they're promised to be? Can life be simplified into simple formulas? Perfect for those interested in an increasingly relevant aspect of modern life, technology, and math. (This book may contain a sharpie mark on the top or bottom edge and may show mild signs of shelfwear.)
