"Watching BBC news and someone very serious comes on to tell me that we really need an "algorithm registry" to avoid "these algorithms" getting out of hand. I am just stunned. I don't even feel the need to explain. This book is really good though: https://www.amazon.com/Algorithms-Live-Computer-Science-Decisions/dp/1250118360?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1635519404&sr=8-1&linkCode=sl1&tag=allthingsdist-20&linkId=e370f8c413c9d559615c7e861d60d49c&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl"
