A quick thread about my book 'Machine Habitus: Toward a Sociology of Algorithms', just out with @politybooks! #MachineHabitus 1/6 
This book's premise is that the social roots and social consequences of machine learning algorithms cannot be fully understood sociologically through popular notions such as 'bias', or 'filter bubble'... 2/6
In the book I argue that most algorithmic systems can be seen as peculiar participants in society, socialised through human-generated training and feedback data that bear the imprint of unequal social worlds. Culture is the seed transforming algorithms into social agents! 3/6
