Burst your bubble! : outsmart the algorithms and see what you're missing / by Joyce Grant ; illustrated by Jan Dolby.

Grant, Joyce, 1963- (author.). Dolby, Jan, (illustrator.).

Summary:

"We are all in information bubbles, whether we realize it or not. The content that fills our bubble is the product of all the likes, clicks, and shares we make online. While we may enjoy what the algorithm pushes to us, we can gradually lose sight of perspectives and points of view that are different from our own. In seven chapters, readers will learn what algorithms are, why they are used, and what influences someone's information bubble both online and in real life. Sidebars offer additional context, and fun activities allow readers to understand concepts in real time"-- Provided by publisher.
