Life by Algorithms: The Myth of Neutral Algorithms

Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world.

This Mini Explainer explores Life by Algorithms, edited by Catherine Besteman and Hugh Gusterson, focusing on how algorithmic bureaucracy shapes perception, incentives, and institutional outcomes.

Beneath the promise of objectivity is a deeper system of automated governance that transforms complex human realities into measurable categories. The episode examines how institutions increasingly rely on metrics, predictive models, and opaque software systems to make decisions once entrusted to human judgment.
