Over a decade ago, tech companies began using algorithms to personalize our experience of the web. Using sophisticated technology and vast amounts of consumer data, companies began to predict our tastes better than we could ourselves. In response, ecommerce expanded, and journalism adapted itself to the personalized attention economy.

Raising many hard questions including data security, political propaganda, and the pervasiveness of digital junk food, filter bubbles reveal the future challenges of a personalized, automated web.
