Computer algorithms have deeply penetrated all areas of our lives. They create amazing musical symphonies, analyze legal documents, write news and drive cars. Their spread is both frightening and... hopeful. Can a computer predict a potential music hit? Will algorithms replace poets and directors? Will they be able to take control of the entire medical industry? And what role can the able-bodied play in politics?
Journalist Christopher Steiner begins his journey from Wall Street, where IT geeks are replacing hordes of toothy brokers, and field after field describes the changes caused by total computerization.
Christopher Steiner is a journalist who has contributed to Forbes, the Chicago Tribune, the Wall Street Journal, Fast Company, MIT Technology Review, Discover Magazine, and Skiing Magazine. Author of several books, including the New York Times bestseller $20 a Gallon.
