{"product_id":"engines-of-order-bernhard-rieder-9789462986190","title":"Engines of Order: A Mechanology of Algorithmic Techniques","description":"Software has become a key component of contemporary life and algorithms that rank, classify, or recommend are everywhere. Building on the philosophy of Gilbert Simondon and the cultural techniques tradition, this book examines the constructive and cumulative character of software and retraces the historical trajectories of a series of algorithmic techniques that have become the building blocks for contemporary practices of ordering. Developed in opposition to centuries of library tradition, these techniques instantiate dynamic, perspectivist, and interested forms of knowing. Embedded in technical infrastructures and economic logics, they have become engines of order that transform how we arrange information, ideas, and people.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bernhard Rieder\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9462986193\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789462986190\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Amsterdam University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/11\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Bernhard Rieder","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44057480495359,"sku":"9789462986190","price":155.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_79f2c000-ff8d-4003-9fa9-5bfe6f63e456.jpg?v=1685047230","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/engines-of-order-bernhard-rieder-9789462986190","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
