The Algorithm Is Watching: How formulas shape your world

By JD Arden

Every swipe is a tiny command. Every recommendation is a nudge. The Algorithm Is Watching pulls the curtain on the tech that decides what you see, buy, and believe-without turning it into mystical code. JD Arden uses plain metaphors, sharp examples, and classroom-ready demos to show how algorithms are built, fed, and tuned-and why that matters for fairness, privacy, and everyday choice.

Readable for curious teens and adults, this book explains recommendation engines, risk scores, social feeds, and where they go wrong-fast. More important: it gives practical moves you can use now (settings, questions to ask, civic actions) so you don't just react to algorithms-you can push back. Short, clear, and a little witty; perfect for anyone who wants to understand the internet before it understands them.
