What should we do, or leave undone, in a day or a lifetime? How much messiness should we accept? What
balance of the new and familiar is the most fulfilling? These may seem like uniquely human quandaries, but
they are not. Computers, like us, confront limited space and time, so computer scientists have been grappling
with similar problems for decades. And the solutions they've found have much to teach us.In a dazzlingly
interdisciplinary work, Brian Christian and Tom Griffiths show how algorithms developed for computers
also untangle very human questions. They explain how to have better hunches and when to leave things to
chance, how to deal with overwhelming choices and how best to connect with others. From finding a spouse
to finding a parking spot, from organizing one's inbox to peering into the future, Algorithms to Live By
transforms the wisdom of computer science into strategies for human living
