Have you ever scrolled through a "For You" page and felt an uncanny sense of sameness? You were promised a world of infinite, personalized choice, yet your digital life feels increasingly predictable, serving you the same handful of songs, shows, and styles on a loop. In Algorithm Fatigue, seasoned journalist Sasha Vance investigates the great paradox of the digital age: the systems designed to know you are actually making you more like everyone else. The book dismantles the "personalization myth," revealing how the core technology of the modern internet—from Amazon's shopping cart to Netflix's recommendations—was never built to celebrate individuality. Instead, it was engineered to find the average and sell it back to you. Vance uncovers the hidden mechanics of collaborative filtering, showing how algorithms trap you in a statistical echo chamber, smoothing out your eccentricities and creating the aesthetic monotony of "AirSpace." This urgent investigation is also a practical guide to rebellion, offering strategies to break free from the feedback loop, reintroduce "desirable difficulties" into your life, and reclaim your taste from the machine. Discover how to choose for yourself again.
