How Computers Create Social Structures

More about the book

The concept of accidental collectives is explored, highlighting how automated software creates unexpected groupings of people as a by-product of data analysis and task optimization. As software automates mundane tasks, it inadvertently forms new social groups, leading to unique interactions and relationships. Through case studies and real-life examples, the book examines the implications of these emergent communities and challenges the reader to consider the influence of software on social dynamics and human connections.
