The Algorithm Made Simple

Everyone lives inside recommendation algorithms. Almost no one understands them.

The Algorithm Made Simple is the plain-language guide to the most powerful force shaping your daily attention: how feeds decide what you see, why outrage spreads fastest, how filter bubbles form around you without your knowledge — and, most importantly, what to do about it.

Across twelve short chapters, you'll learn to *See how the machine really works, Train your feeds deliberately with settings and curation that actually work, and Tame* the algorithm across the rest of your life: at work, in your news habits, and in teaching your kids to navigate it wisely.

No technical background needed. No guilt trips. No deleting your accounts. Just literacy and agency: understanding the machine that shapes your hours, and becoming the kind of person who uses the feeds instead of being used by them.

Ten minutes a day. Twelve days. Your hours, back under your command.
