Summary:
"In The
Formula
, Luke Dormehl takes readers inside the world of numbers, asking
how
we came to believe in the all-conquering power of
algorithms
; introducing the mathematicians, artificial intelligence experts and Silicon Valley entrepreneurs who are shaping this brave new world, and ultimately asking
how
we survive in an era where numbers can sometimes seem to
create
as many
problems
as they
solve
."--From publisher.
