How Do We Stop Hating the Internet?

Over the last decade, our Internet experience has become increasingly dictated by algorithms- data-driven equations that try to anticipate (and elicit) our desires. The problem is, they often get it wrong. The math doesn't math.

Kyle Chayka (staff writer,The New Yorker) has written a new book on the subject entitled "Filterworld."

This week, Tanya and Kyle talk about this ever-tightening web woven by algorithms and how we can begin breaking free from it.

About the Podcast

Battletested with Tanya Acker
A podcast about common sense and other things that last.
We’ve all been hit by something hard when we didn’t expect it. We’ve come through battles of every kind - personal, professional, national - and still are fighting some of them. What have we learned from them - and what can our past battles teach us about how to live in the present moment? New episodes of BATTLETESTED air every Wednesday, wherever you get your podcasts.
