商品描述

Algorithms are probably the most sophisticated tools that people have had at their disposal since the beginnings of human history. They have transformed science, industry, society. They upset the concepts of work, property, government, private life, even humanity. Going easily from one extreme to the other, we rejoice that they make life easier for us, but fear that they will enslave us. To get beyond this vision of good vs evil, this book takes a new look at our time, the age of algorithms. Creations of the human spirit, algorithms are what we made them. And they will be what we want them to be: it's up to us to choose the world we want to live in.

  •  
  • The authors, both eminent computer scientists, avoid simplistic analysis, avoiding both technophile enthusiasm and apocalyptic technophobia
  • Examines issues raised by algorithms, in particular work, property, government and privacy, from technical, philosophical, and societal perspectives
    • Explains complex and technical issues in terms everyone can understand

商品描述(中文翻譯)

演算法可能是人類歷史以來最複雜的工具。自從人類開始有這些工具以來，它們已經改變了科學、工業和社會。它們顛覆了工作、財產、政府、私人生活，甚至人性的概念。我們喜悅地看到它們讓生活變得更輕鬆，但也擔心它們會奴役我們。為了超越這種對好與壞的觀點，這本書重新審視了我們所處的時代，即演算法時代。演算法是人類精神的創造物，它們是我們創造的。它們將成為我們想要的樣子：我們可以選擇我們想要生活在其中的世界。

這本書的作者是兩位傑出的計算機科學家，他們避免了簡單化的分析，既不是技術狂熱者，也不是末日論者。他們從技術、哲學和社會的角度探討了演算法引發的問題，特別是工作、財產、政府和隱私。並且以每個人都能理解的方式解釋了複雜的技術問題。
