Bad Choices: How Algorithms Can Help You Think Smarter and Live Happier

Algorithms are everywhere, but even as we hear more and more about them, how much do we really know what they mean? This book offers an interactive, relatable, and funny exploration of these essential building blocks of computer science that show how algorithms act as processes of unambiguous steps that do something useful. Using twelve scenes from everyday life, this book demonstrates and demystifies algorithms and makes these sometimes elusive concepts understandable for everyone.
