The book is part of the research project Behind the Algorithm (funded by the Swedish Research Council, 2018–2020).

The author, Jakob Svensson, is professor of Media and Communication Studies at Malmö University. This book is the result of an ethnographically inspired study based on interviews with software engineers and programmers, observations made at tech head quarters and conferences in Denmark, Sweden, Brazil, Germany, India, and the US, and a case study of the introduction of algorithmic automation on the front page of a Scandinavian newspaper. And since algorithms and automated systems exercise power in connected data societies, it is pivotal to understand their creators, who could be labelled, it is argued in the book, Wizards of the Web. Technology, it is argued, is not neutral and developed free of context. While algorithms and automated systems themselves are often a topic of controversy and debate, this book is about the people behind them it is an account of the cultures, values, and imaginations that guide programmers in their work designing and engineering software and digital technology. Today data-driven algorithms and automated systems are everywhere. They determine search engines’ rankings, what driverless cars do when a child appears on the road, and stock market changes. In our connected data societies, the importance of algorithms and automated systems is obvious. 2021 (English) Book (Other academic) Abstract
