“A cynic, Oscar Wilde cynically observed, knows the price of everything and the value of nothing. By contrast, recommendation engines are computational optimists: not only do they know everything’s price, they’ll also predict its value for you. Successful engines are digitally designed to get to know you better. They’re built to learn what you are most likely to like.”
