Algorithms: A Cloud Of Stimulation

View descriptionShare

Over the past seven episodes, Josh has explored all the rushes that some crave and others despise. But what about the micro-rushes that almost all of us get every day? When we hear our phone ping with a social media notification, or lose countless hours in a video game, we are all getting sucked in to the intermittent rewards of the algorithm. Josh talks to a futurist, a data expert, a recovered video game addict, and a digital wellbeing expert to try and figure out why we've all become addicted and how we can break free.

Dive deep into the rush... of algorithms.
