| Title: Outliars: A Discourse Guide to Fact-Checking and Click-Baiting |
| By (author): Angie Waller |
| ISBN10-13: 0991392353 : 9780991392353 |
| In "Outliars," Angie Waller examines the role of click-friendly headlines in amplifying misinformation during the Trump administration, using data from a 28-year archive of The New York Times. Connecting the themes of outliers and liars, the book depicts the heightened media coverage of Trump relative to past US presidential administrations and the impact technologies such as search engine optimization and headline A/B testing may have on this phenomenon. The book annotates headlines in a manner suited for an algorithmic lie detector, highlighting the futility of filtering out the noise amongst ambiguous headlines. |

| Title: Seeing Like a Computer |
| By (author): Angie Waller |
| ISBN10-13: 0991392337 : 9780991392339 |
| Facebook's Automatic Alternative Text feature offers image captions to assist visually impaired users. However, the automatic image recognition and captioning system has limitations and can overlook important content and context. It typically lists recognizable objects in a mechanical way, such as "one person, smiling" or "person, outdoor, nature." Seeing Like a Computer highlights these shortcomings with a sampling of snapshots from Mark Zuckerbergâ s Facebook timeline. |

| Title: Trippy Training Data |
| By (author): Angie Waller |
| ISBN10-13: 0991392361 : 9780991392360 |
| Trippy Training Data introduces a unique dataset of labeled images for training a computer to mimic the experience of taking LSD. Images are sourced from a Reddit subreddit where people discuss their experiences getting high and document their hallucinatory visions using low-quality smartphone cameras. The images often showcase ordinary objects, such as leftover pizza or bathroom tiles, captured under harsh fluorescent lighting with exclamatory captions like, "WOH !" When an algorithm is fed training data, it will generalize rules, establish relationships, and detect patterns, even if there are not any meaningful ones to be found. If we stare long enough at marbled cheese, can we too experience something sublime? |

Reading this book feels like you have a strict parent looking over your shoulder, making sure you don't do anything that breaks the rules. |
