For fans of Tracy Kidder's The Soul of a New Machine, Cathy O'Neil's Weapons of Math Destruction, Jaron Lanier's You Are Not a Gadget, and Safiya Noble's Algorithms of Oppression

At the beginning of his journey in learning to code, Andrew Smith got a brain scan in Germany. He got another one months later to see how his brain had changed after learning multiple coding languages. This is the first unified theory of why, as computer code floods into the world at an ever increasing rate, the world seems to be getting proportionately worse – and the binary form of code is replicated itself all around us. In Andrew Smith's words: Human relations seem to be growing more binary in character. Features original diagrams, code snippets, and graphics from the author that help to guide the reader through the most intricate parts of code and logic
