Returning guest, New Yorker columnist and author Kyle Chayka returns to the show to talk about his latest book, 'Filterworld: How Algorithms Flattened Culture'.
Kyle talks to us about the ways platforms have enforced and imposed varied layers of algorithms on nearly every aspect of our lives – resulting in a boring and mundane online experience, where even a simple search has become impossible. He also explains how this flattened internet culture impacts us in the real world too, particularly in cities and areas of natural beauty that are now curated for the purposes of taking instagram photos. But, Kyle reminds us that it's not impossible to break out of Filterworld – and, why fighting against it is more important than ever before.
