Algorithms Pay Attention

What if your scroll habits were designing the next big tech product, and you didn't even know? 

Written by a 17-year-old who's grown up swiping, skipping, and searching like the rest of us, this book pulls back the screen and asks: who's really in charge here? It's not a boring warning or a startup pitch. It's a straight-up conversation with the generation that feeds the algorithm every single day, sometimes for fun, sometimes by accident. 

From online shopping that knows your taste better than your best friend, to recommendation systems that track every "maybe later", the digital world isn't waiting for anyone to turn 18. It's already taking notes. This book walks through how it all runs, AI, e-commerce tricks, and customer data trails, without sounding like homework. Every idea is told through stories, memes, habits, and moments anyone who's ever opened a browser will recognise. 

You won't need a degree to get it. You'll only need curiosity, a phone, and the kind of questions that come up when something feels too convenient to be random.

Whether you're posting a meme, reviewing an app, or ignoring a biased trend, you're making moves. This book shows how those choices ripple through the tech we use, the culture we shape, and the future that's already loading. 

The system's listening. What are you telling it?
