Add to basketPaperback. Algorithms of DesireHow does what you want come about? And above all: do you still want it?Every day you scroll, click, like, choose, buy. It feels like freedom. But behind that freedom there is an invisible infrastructure that observes, calculates, predicts, and guides: the algorithm.It doesn't just show you content that is "in line" with your tastes: it learns to modify them, reinforces them, weakens them, reorganizes them. It gently guides you toward choices that seem to be your own, but are often more useful to someone else than to you.Algorithms of Desire is an informative and incisive essay that gets to the heart of the most pressing question of our time: what happens to human desire in the economy of attention, data, and Artificial Intelligence?You won't find useless technicalities or easy catastrophism. Instead, you will find a clear, cultured, and concrete analysis of how digital platforms and predictive models transform emotions, impulses, identities, and decisions into economic raw material.This book guides you in recognizing the mechanisms by which the digital environment "educates" your needs, rewrites priorities, amplifies urgency, and reduces the distance between stimulus and action. Above all, it shows you how to reopen a space of freedom: not against technology, but within technology.In this essay, you will discover: l why today we no longer compete for the truth, but for your attentionl how the "gentle push" that makes what was optional yesterday inevitable workshow predictive systems transform preferences and fragilities into profiling and profitwhat "personalization" really means and why it is often a form of behavioral steeringhow to defend yourself without disconnecting: digital education, mental hygiene, critical awarenesswhy desiring (truly) can become a cultural and political actWho is this book for?For those who want to understand the present without slogans.For those who feel that 'something' is guiding them while they believe they are choosing.For parents, students, professionals, teachers, curious readers: anyone who wants tools to interpret the age of algorithms and not just endure it.Why read it nowBecause Artificial Intelligence is not only changing work, communication, or consumption. It is changing the ground on which desire is born.And if desire is no longer yours, even your freedom becomes negotiable.Open this book as you would open a window: to see the invisible, name what passes through you, and return to being the protagonist of your choices. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
