Summary

Making it Personal offers a thoughtful analysis and up-to-date contextualization of the issues around of algorithmic personalization, bridging the gap between algorithmic intervention and individual user perception, experience, and negotiation.

Additional text

Making it Personal eloquently brings into focus the murky world of personalization algorithms and data tracking in order to interrogate the complex ways users understand and negotiate these systems. It usefully moves us beyond discussions of privacy, surveillance, and authenticity to skillfully interrogate what it really means to be subject to these algorithmic logics.
