Detailed product description

An exhilarating crossover between memoir and argument, demonstrating how computers and algorithms shape our understanding of the world and who we are.As we engineer ever-more-intricate algorithms to translate our experiences and narrow the gap that divides us from the machine, we willingly rub out our nuances and our idiosyncrasiesprecisely that which makes us human. Bitwise is david auerbachs thoughtful ode to the computer codes and languages that captured his imagination as a child and his reflection of how hes both experienced and written the algorithms that have come to taxonomize human speech, knowledge and behavior. With a philosophers sense of inquiry and an engineers eye, auerbach recounts a childhood spent drawing ferns with the programming language logo on the apple IIe, his adventures in early text-based video games, his schooling as an engineer and his contributions to instant messaging technology developed for microsoft and to software built to sift through googles data stores. His unsettling conclusionthat algorithms are standardizing and coarsening our own livesis inescapable.
