Críticas:
"The clash between humanists and technologists, between brain power and machine power, is an ancient battle. In his lucidly written account of how this clash has played out in past years and how it will unfold in the future, Luke Dormehl is a tour guide with the breadth of a scholar, the sagacity of a judge, and the clear eye of a good journalist. This important book deserves to be read, and digested, by all who wrestle with, and enjoy -- or worry about -- a world transformed by digital technology."
--Ken Auletta, author of "Googled"
"This information-rich narrative [is] fascinating for experts and laymen alike. A great resource for anyone seeking to understand the intersection of technology and humanity in the 21st century."
--Publishers Weekly
"A persuasive, timely interrogation of one of our age's most dangerous assumptions: that information is the same as understanding, and that everything which counts can be counted."
--Tom Chatfield, author of "Netymology" and "How to Thrive in the Digital Age"
"This is exactly the type of book we need to be reading as society considers the computerized control of nearly all the systems that affect our lives."
--Chris Dannen, Fast Company
"A smart and thoughtful overview of algorithms and how they affect our daily lives."
--John P. Kelley, President and CEO of Blackstone Discovery
"From policing, to pricing, to the pursuit of happiness, Luke Dormehl demonstrates how algorithms are driving decision-making across a range of endeavours - including some truly unexpected areas."
--Nick Meaney, CEO and Co-Founder of Epagogix
"A perfect combination of journalism and scholarship ... An essential text for understanding the shimmering boundary between human beings and the machines they create."
