love-in-the-time-of-algorithms-by-dan-slater-a

Love in the time of algorithms by Dan Slater. A book about the online dating industry. I think the title of this book alone makes this relevant to #algopop. 

Also researchers at the University of Iowa are developing an algorithm that much like Netflix, will recommend partners for dating based on data-mining rather than user input. The concept is based on the assumptions that a user’s self-curated profile is not entirely truthful, and that he or she ‘may not know themselves well enough to know their own tastes in the opposite sex’,  so algorithms could potentially get to know the real you, and your potential partner, through your dating-site browsing habits.
