They explain how to have better hunches and when to leave things to chance, how to deal with overwhelming choices and how best to connect with others. In a dazzlingly interdisciplinary work, Brian Christian and Tom Griffiths show how algorithms developed for computers also untangle very human questions.
And the solutions they've found have much to teach us. Computers, like us, confront limited space and time, so computer scientists have been grappling with similar problems for decades. What should we do, or leave undone, in a day or a lifetime? How much messiness should we accept? What balance of the new and familiar is the most fulfilling? These may seem like uniquely human quandaries, but they are not. An exploration of how computer algorithms can be applied to our everyday lives to solve common decision-making problems and illuminate the workings of the human mind.
