For poets who are into data mining, personalization, and privacy issues (who isn't?):
"After all, throughout The Formula, Dormehl signals that he wants us to think carefully about what it means to be human in an age where algorithms increasingly tell us who we are, what we want, and how we'll come to behave in the future. Indeed, Dormehl goes so far as to declare that our age is marked by a "crisis of self," where the Enlightenment conception of "autonomous individuals" is challenged by an algorithmic alternative. Individuals have become construed as "one categorizable node in an aggregate mass." --Evan Selinger, Los Angeles Review of BooksThe Formula: How Algorithms Solve All Our Problems -- And Create More, Luke Dormehl, Perigee Books, 2014, pp. 288, ISBN 9780399170539
