loppear reviewed Algorithms to live by by Brian Christian
Review of 'Algorithms to live by' on Goodreads
4 stars
An overview computer science textbook meets a philosophical reflection on the lived human condition meets practical advice column... kinda perfect, for me at least. While this had the risk of becoming all kinds of rough nerd self-help or self-absorbed sensationalist cleverness, the author's applications of compsci approaches to categories of daily life end up neatly riding the line between humble and profound. But perhaps this is just so readable because it closely matches how I see the world.
