Writing code on a computer

Life Shaped by Coding

Midday on WNYC | Aug 28, 2018

Technologist David Auerbach discusses his new memoir Bitwise: A Life in Code. He breaks down how computers and algorithms affect us in our everyday lives.  Auerbach argues that as technology becomes more embedded in our lives we risk erasing our nuances and idiosyncrasies—the things that make us human.

On September 25 at 7 pm David Auerbach will be at McNally Jackson (Williamsburg).

This segment is guest hosted by Nancy Giles.
