I'm using this as a notes section for a book club discussion. Good luck.

To teach the audience about various alg. methods the book builds upon previous chapters, so it's best read in order;
Previous topics: power, data
New topics: justice(sequential decision alg.), medicine(pattern recog.)
Interesting discussions:
- The tandem use of alg. and humans to overcome issues of bias or specificity
- Data ownership of DNA

So I'm using this as a notes section for a book club discussion as I read. Good luck.

General description:
Anecdotal,
Amusing,
Meandering yet staying on topic,
Considering the human interaction with applied algorithms found in life,
Descriptions of the maths/science behind stuff is good and not heavy in theory so easily understandable.

Raising good questions on the topics without prescribing "the" answer.
