The meteoric rise of online video is reshaping the competition for human attention in unprecedented ways. John M. Jordan's book, "The Rise of the Algorithms," delves deep into the impact of this new technology on our interactions, relationships, and behaviors. In tracing the origins and evolution of online video, Jordan examines the mechanics and ethical stakes of platforms like YouTube, TikTok, and Twitch. He highlights how these platforms use algorithms pioneered by companies like Facebook and Google to engineer human behavior, with far-reaching consequences for culture, politics, and identity.
Jordan argues that we are at a critical inflection point, where society must address issues such as the power of digital platforms, the personal costs of viral celebrity, the invasion of privacy, and the proliferation of disinformation. "The Rise of the Algorithms" combines this urgent assessment with a thoughtful discussion of present challenges and recommendations for reclaiming our online futures. This valuable resource is essential for understanding the transformations brought by YouTube, TikTok, and similar platforms, particularly for policy makers, technologists, communication and media specialists, and researchers who shape the future of our online world.
