How the rise of computerized decisionmaking affects every aspect of business and daily lifeThe bot takeover began with high frequency trading on Wall Street, and from there it spread to all manners of highlevel taskssuch as diagnosing illnesses or interpreting legal documents. There is no realm of human endeavor safe from algorithms that employ speed, precision and nuance.In this fascinating book, Steiner tells the story of how algorithms took over and shows why the bot revolution is about to spill into every aspect of our lives. We meet bots that are driving cars, penning haikus, and writing music mistaken for Bachs. They listen in on customer service calls and figure out what Iran would do in the event of a nuclear standoff. On Wall Street, preprogrammed algorithmic deals are executed by machines faster than any human couldleaving human investors at a severe disadvantage.But what will the world look like when algorithms control our hospitals, our roads, and our national security? Is a stock market controlled by highspeed trading bots worth investing in? And what role will be left for doctors, lawyers, writers, truck drivers, and many others?
