b'We are joined by Nick Sever \\u2013 author of the new book Computing Taste: Algorithms and the Makers of Music Recommendation \\u2013 to discuss his excellent ethnographic research on the creation of algorithmic recommendation systems. Nick spent a long time getting to really know the people who make these systems and his book offers so much original, granular detail about the various practices, theories, and relationships that influence the engineers behind these algorithms. Nick\\u2019s book also contains extremely interesting and surprising applications of classic anthropological theory to contemporary algorithmic technology. \\n\\n\\u2022\\u2022\\u2022 Nick\\u2019s book \\u2013 Computing Taste: Algorithms and the Makers of Music Recommendation https://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/chicago/C/bo183892298.html\\n\\u2022\\u2022\\u2022 Nick\\u2019s twitter \\u2013 https://twitter.com/npseaver \\n\\nSubscribe to hear more analysis and commentary in our premium episodes every week! https://www.patreon.com/thismachinekills \\n\\nHosted by Jathan Sadowski (www.twitter.com/jathansadowski) and Edward Ongweso Jr. (www.twitter.com/bigblackjacobin).
