In this episode, my book-loving friend Abdul shares insights on the latest book he read, "Algorithms of Resistance: The Everyday Fight Against Platform Power" by Tiziano Bonini and Emiliano Trere. This book delves into how people resist algorithms across various domains. Through rich ethnographic materials and perspectives from both the Global North and South, it illustrates how individuals appropriate and reconfigure algorithms to achieve their goals in gig work, cultural industries, and politics. Bonini and Trere reveal that forms of algorithmic agency and resistance are both widespread and routine, portraying the platform society as a battleground of contrasting forces.
