THE ALGORITHM IS WATCHING: How formulas shape your world

Every swipe is a tiny command. Every recommendation is a nudge. The Algorithm Is Watching pulls the curtain on the tech that decides what you see, buy, and believe—without turning it into mystical code. JD Arden uses plain metaphors, sharp examples, and classroom-ready demos to show how algorithms are built, fed, and tuned—and why that matters for fairness, privacy, and everyday choice.Readable for curious teens and adults, this book explains recommendation engines, risk scores, social feeds, and where they go wrong—fast. More important: it gives practical moves you can use now (settings, questions to ask, civic actions) so you don’t just react to algorithms—you can push back. Short, clear, and a little witty; perfect for anyone who wants to understand the internet before it understands them.Read more
