    Algorithms at Work Trailer
    Jan 27 2022
    In this highly intoxicating original series, researchers Brian Christian and Tom Griffiths, authors of the best-selling smash hit, Algorithms to Live By, tackle some of the biggest ideas in computer science today - and, in the process, illuminate cutting-edge ways of understanding how we live, work and play.

    They take us inside a tomato factory where no one has a job title to shed new light on decentralized network structures; visit an Olympic fencer to explore the game theory of when to make the first move; and tour the birthplace of the internet, a buzzing laboratory on the border of France and Switzerland, to examine the true - and truly human - limits to what a network of nearly one million machines can achieve.

    Along the way, they interview key figures in the world of computer science - from Google's Vice President of Infrastructure Eric Brewer to ‘the godfather of distributed systems’ Leslie Lamport - plus preeminent neuroscientists, sociologists, and even the co-founder of Instagram.

    Algorithms at Work is a playful and deeply inquisitive exploration of the overlapping questions of computer science and society. The result is six episodes that examine the world in unexpected and memorable ways.

Many Model Thinking

I love this series. The series is entertaining as well as educational. It teaches a similar approach as The Model Thinker by Scott Page where you learn many different models which enable you to apply models in new and interesting ways.

thought-provoking

when I first decided to get this book I wasn't sure how far I would make it through. but this is one of the first books in a long time that I listened to every single episode. every thought examined in this book is something you can apply to every part of your life. very interesting.

Enjoyable and I learned so much.

I found it interesting that I would enjoy this so much. I learned a lot and suggested to a friend getting her Master’s in Computer Science.

Great lessons on decision making

I really Enjoy this podcast. It tells a great story of how computers systems and humans have evolved to work together to achieve more. Less super computers and more simple PC's working in unison as well as backing each other up. I really enjoyed the patt about Que Theory.
