Filterworld is a book by Kyle Chayka, a New Yorker staff writer and author of The Longing for Less. It explores the world ruled by algorithms, which dictate the shape of culture. The book reveals how online and offline spaces have been engineered for seamless consumption, becoming a source of anxiety. Users of technology are forced to contend with data-driven equations that try to anticipate their desires, often getting them wrong. This results in a state of docility that allows tech companies to curtail human experiences for profit. Chayka questions what happens when shareability supersedes messiness, innovation, and creativity, and whether personal freedom is possible on the Internet.
