Algorithms to Live By - The Computer Science of Human Decisions

In a world increasingly driven by complex decisions and abundant information, "Algorithms to Live By" offers a compelling bridge between the realm of computer science and everyday human choices. Brian Christian and Tom Griffiths illuminate how the principles underlying algorithms—traditionally confined to computing—can be harnessed to optimize life’s decisions, from the mundane to the profound. By weaving together rigorous scientific insight with practical applications, the authors reveal that the logic of machines often mirrors the strategies that can best serve human reasoning.
