Review of 'Automate this' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

The author notes how Wall Street brought algorithms into the mainstream, how when Wall Street crashed that other fields had a sudden influx of quantitative talent, and how algorithms will soon take over everything. Put another way, many lovely anecdotes and much good information, but the history is all quite recent and somehow connected to Wall Street.
