Search engines have become a key part of our everyday lives. Yet
there is growing concern with how algorithms, which run just
beneath the surface of our interactions online, are affecting
society. This timely new edition of Search Engine Society
enlightens readers on the forms of bias that algorithms introduce
into our knowledge and social spaces, drawing on recent changes to
technology, industries, policies, and research. It provides an
introduction to the social place of the search engine and addresses
crucial questions such as: *How have search engines changed the way
we organize our thoughts about the world, and how we work? *In what
ways are big data and advances in artificial intelligence already
influencing what we know of the world and each other? *To what
extent do politics shape search, and does search shape politics?
*What does the future of search portend for education, knowledge,
work, privacy, and social power? While the search engine is
starting to disappear from view, it is, at the same time, having an
ever greater effect on how we learn about the world and how it
learns about us. This book is a must-read for those who wish to
understand the future of the social internet and how search shapes
it.
