"""Love in the Time of Algorithms is a fascinating romp through the world of online dating."" -- ""Bethany McLean, coauthor of The Smartest Guys in the Room"" ""An astute investigation of the way technology may have remade the most important aspect of existence: love."" -- ""Vanessa Grigoriadis, contributing editor, New York Magazine"" ""An irresistible read that details the efforts of computer scientists and entrepreneurs to solve the oldest of life's challenges: finding the right life partner. Neither a slam nor celebration of online dating, Slater's book makes it clear that mate finding really has changed forever, and like it or not, we're probably not going back."" -- ""Tim Wu, author of The Master Switch"" ""In this artful examination of our techno-romantic universe, Dan Slater offers an eye-opening look at the ways our very own behaviors and desires have been forever changed."" -- ""Jessica Massa and Rebecca Wiegand, cocreators of The Gaggle "" ""Like pretty much every other commodity in a digitally enhanced world, romance is now in abundance. But, as Slater deftly and entertainingly demonstrates, relegating love to the logic of algorithms changes not only who we end up with, but how we think about mating, relationships, human volition, and even fate."" -- ""Douglas Rushkoff, author of Life Inc. and Present Shock"" ""One in five relationships now starts in front of a computer. But how did we get here? Dan Slater gives us a peek into the quirky minds of the dating executives who built the industry and the lives of those who have been forever transformed by the online-dating revolution. As one of those execs, I thought I knew the story. But with humor and fresh insight, Slater will change the way you think about love in a digital world."" -- ""Sam Yagan, cofounder and CEO, OkCupid"""
