       world ; the law of unanticipated consequences -- Part two 
       : algorithmic thinking. Omelet recipes for computers : how
       algorithms are programmed ; Algorithms become intelligent 
       : a brief history of AI ; machine learning and the 
       predictability-resilience paradox ; the psychology of 
       algorithms -- Part three : taming the code. In algorithms 
       we trust ; Which is to be master -- algorithm or user? ; 
       inside the black box ; an algorithmic bill of rights -- 
       Conclusion : the games algorithms play. 
520    Through the technology embedded in almost every major tech
       platform and every web-enabled device, algorithms and the 
       artificial intelligence that underlies them make a 
       staggering number of everyday decisions for us, from what 
       products we buy, to where we decide to eat, to how we 
       consume our news, to whom we date, and how we find a job. 
       We've even delegated life-and-death decisions to 
       algorithms--decisions once made by doctors, pilots, and 
       judges. In his new book, Kartik Hosanagar surveys the 
       brave new world of algorithmic decision-making and reveals
       the potentially dangerous biases they can give rise to as 
       they increasingly run our lives. He makes the compelling 
       case that we need to arm ourselves with a better, deeper, 
       more nuanced understanding of the phenomenon of 
       algorithmic thinking. And he gives us a route in, pointing
       out that algorithms often think a lot like their creators-
       -that is, like you and me.
