Kritik
'I've been waiting for a book to come along that merges computational models with human psychology - and Christian and Griffiths have succeeded beyond all expectations. This is a wonderful book, written so that anyone can understand the computer science that runs our world - and more importantly, what it means to our lives' David Eagleman, author of 'Sum: Tales from the Afterlives'

'Compelling and entertaining, Algorithms to Live By is packed with practical advice about how to use time, space, and effort more efficiently. And it's a fascinating exploration of the workings of computer science and the human mind. Whether you want to optimize your to-do list, organize your closet, or understand human memory, this is a great read' 'Charles Duhigg, author of The Power of Habit'

'A truly beautiful exploration through math, computer science and philosophy of some of the most ordinary, yet most important dilemmas any of us is likely to face. Filled with humour and wisdom, this is a bible with a brain' Aarathi Prasadmehr
