Listen now to get the main key ideas from Hannah Fry's Hello World. 

Algorithms are the foundation of the modern machine era. These intangible bits of code have brought us social media feeds and search engines, and they are as much a part of our contemporary infrastructure as roads, houses, and industries. Hannah Fry's Hello World (2019) explores the huge number of algorithms on which we increasingly, but possibly unintentionally, depend. Fry looks at all the different fields in which algorithms have already made a big impact. Hello World pays careful attention to their claims, investigates their unacknowledged power, and addresses the unsolved concerns they pose. It's up to humans to make sure they are a positive force in our present and future.
