It’s no secret that we at WIRED are fascinated by artificial intelligence. But it’s also no secret that thorny, and sometimes unexpected, questions arise as automation and algorithms creep into new corners of life—transforming jobs, economies, and even the world order. Which is why this winter, we’re also fascinated by books that grapple with these very questions. How did algorithms become so influential in our politics? When will they become our chauffeurs? And how much should they really know about us? Written by historians, journalists, and researchers, each of these books examines a very different aspect of the world that has been or will be upended by the influence of artificial intelligence. So sink your teeth into the algorithmic issues that will define the decades to come.
