Bitwise: A Life in Code by David Auerbach
Requirements: .MP3 reader, 257MB
Overview: A lifelong student of the systems that shape our lives – from the psychiatric taxonomy of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual to how Facebook tracks and profiles its users – Auerbach reflects on how he has experienced the algorithms that taxonomize human speech, knowledge, and behavior and that compel us to do the same.
Into this exquisitely crafted, wide-ranging memoir of a life spent with code, Auerbach has woven an eye-opening and searing examination of the inescapable ways in which algorithms have both standardized and coarsened our lives. As we engineer ever more intricate technology to translate our experiences and narrow the gap that divides us from the machine, Auerbach argues, we willingly erase our nuances and our idiosyncrasies – precisely the things that make us human.
