What algorithms want : imagination in the age of computing
Finn, Ed, 1980-2018
Books
This work explores the cultural figure of the algorithm as it operates through contemporary digital culture. Drawing on sources that range from Neal Stephenson's 'Snow Crash' to Diderot's 'Encyclopédie', from Adam Smith to the Star Trek computer, it explores the gap between theoretical ideas and pragmatic instructions.
