Algorithmic Culture: How Big Data and Artificial Intelligence are Transforming Everyday Life explores the complex ways in which algorithms and big data, or algorithmic culture, are simultaneously reshaping everyday culture while perpetuating inequality and intersectional discrimination. Contributors situate issues of humanity, identity, and culture in relation to free will, surveillance, capitalism, neoliberalism, consumerism, solipsism, and creativity, offering a critique of the myriad constraints enacted by algorithms. This book argues that consumers are undergoing an ontological overhaul due to the enhanced manipulability and increasingly mandatory nature of algorithms in the market, while also positing that algorithms may help navigate through chaos that is intrinsically present in the market democracy. Ultimately, Algorithmic Culture calls attention to the present-day cultural landscape as a whole as it has been reconfigured and re-presented by algorithms.

The Last of Last Call (Paperback): James McDevitt The Last of Last Call (Paperback)

Set at a small college just outside of Washington, D.C. in the mid 2000's, The Last of Last Call follows three students during their senior year at Harrison University. Going to class is their best way to kill time between late nights at the nearby bar and clubbing in the city. To distract themselves from their shared aimless lives, they score drugs and get wasted, complicating their relationships and making themselves numb to their own descent. Michael Connolly is a self-proclaimed hopeless romantic who thinks he's found the perfect girl in Madison. He's unaware, however, that his best friend Jen might be in love with him. Brian Szpokowski lives life like the rock star he thinks he is; he claims to only have eyes for Amanda, but that doesn't stop him from hooking-up with her former roommate Chelsea... and half the girls on campus. Dylan Greene is tired of D.C.'s gay club scene, and is looking for a guy worth more than a one-night stand in the back seat of a car. Last of Last Call is a tragic tale of romance and youthful indifference, reminiscent of early Bret Easton Ellis.
