The Algorithm Trap

There was a time when an infinite spool of information seemed like the coolest idea humanity had ever come up with. And honestly, it might be. I mean, through Google-fu alone, I've learned a ton more than anyone ever taught me about church history, quantum mechanics, tarot cards, or con-artist schemes (to name just a few).

"This memoir is compellingly readable.

Not only is the author informative, including and explaining a lot of history and information about Asian Americans - especially in media and SoCal import car culture, Yu is also so matter-of-fact in her delivery" Read more of this review »

Fantasy, history, linguistics, colonialism, racism, revolution... I don't know how the author tied all these together into such a powerful (and surprisingly* relevant) book, but they absolutely did.
