Did Amazon fire all algorithm engineers? Hard to see what mechanisms Goodreads follows in recommendation:

-Based on reading history of ‘The Toaster Project’, recommend ‘Blackwater: The Rise of the World’s most Mercenary Army’. I read intro it’s about real nasty stuff.

-‘I like to Watch’ (commentary on TV renaissance) => ‘Trick Mirror: Reflection on Self Delusion’. I don’t see connection.

a little tough to break in. brain also hurts a little. sone examples intend to provoke contraversy, thus spike some interest, yet they are so unrealstic, more text book like abstraction, that i can care less after getting the point. still the breadth of topics make ig a better intro, if less engaging, than freakonomics
