About this ebook
Everything Gets Recommended explores one of the quietest transformations of modern life: recommendations have become the default starting point for everyday decisions. From shopping and streaming to restaurants, travel, news, and online search, suggested choices increasingly shape what people discover long before they begin looking for themselves.
Rather than explaining algorithms or artificial intelligence, this book examines how recommendation systems gradually changed everyday habits, expectations, and behavior until they became almost invisible. Through familiar examples and thoughtful observation, it reveals how modern life quietly shifted from searching to being shown.
