In today’s episode, Jordan sits down with Kyle Chayka to talk about his new book “Filterworld: How Algorithms Flattened Culture.” Kyle examines how algorithmic recommendations are rarely personalized, how the “Instagram aesthetic” has transformed physical spaces, how Spotify’s dominance has led to shorter, more generic songs, and so much more. It’s a fascinating and thought-provoking book and we think you’ll enjoy it.
