We are attracted to the idea of ​​keeping everything under control, at the same time we want to be surprised by life. There are algorithms designed to predict the weather, traffic jams, and even love. There are those who dedicate themselves to musical creation and painting works in the style of Rembrandt. Some are used to generate untrue news and others are designed to predict our vote. 

As we give more power to machines, our concern grows about what they cannot control. Why did algorithms fail to predict the world's largest pandemic? In what aspects of our existence will the Artificial Intelligence post coronavirus? What elements of our environment will maintain their unpredictable character?

With a humorous and critical tone, journalist Marta García Aller takes us on an exciting journey through what it means to be human in an era of uncertainty dominated by technology. The fruit of this journey is a key book that involves various actors of the unexpected. From mathematicians, epidemiologists and geneticists, to linguists, lawyers and engineers. It includes a three-year-old girl, several successful entrepreneurs and a Tinder hookup expert, along with neurologists, comedians and some robots. 

Data, often compared to oracles, are not always reliable and we tend to attribute more capacity to them than they really have; However, both their successes and their mistakes will be decisive in our future.

Love, pandemics, health, humor, falsehoods, foolishness... Marta García Aller returns to the future in exploration of the human element in the era of algorithms.
