A fascinating exploration of how computer algorithms can be applied
to our everyday lives. In this dazzlingly interdisciplinary work,
acclaimed author Brian Christian and cognitive scientist Tom
Griffiths show us how the simple, precise algorithms used by
computers can also untangle very human questions. Modern life is
constrained by limited space and time, limits that give rise to a
particular set of problems. What should we do, or leave undone, in
a day or a lifetime? How much messiness should we accept? The
authors explain how to have better hunches and when to leave things
to chance, how to deal with overwhelming choices and how best to
connect with others. From finding a spouse to finding a parking
spot, from organizing one's inbox to understanding the workings of
human memory, Algorithms To Live By is full of practical takeaways
to help you solve common decision-making problems and illuminate
the workings of the human mind.
