The algorithm and the humans in it
5 stars
One of the easiest books to read about algorithms you'll find, chock full of insights about how music, the music industry and the world of streaming works. Perhaps the best part is that the casual fun writing is shot through with the author's music suggestions and humanity, giving the whole piece a warm friendly feel. It's also filled with potent quotes about the future we should want to build with algorithms, computers, and art. Every Spotify user should read it. Then everyone else.
