In the world's top research labs and universities, the race is on to invent the ultimate learning algorithm: one capable of discovering any knowledge from data, and doing anything we want, before we even ask. In The Master Algorithm, Pedro Domingos lifts the veil to give us a peek inside the learning machines that power Google, Amazon, and your smartphone. He assembles a blueprint for the future universal learner--the Master Algorithm--and discusses what it will mean for business, science, and society. If data-ism is today's philosophy, this book is its bible.

This book by a computer scientist applies a very old idea to the shiny new technology of computer science. The technology in question is Big Data, the use of mathematical algorithms to process huge quantities of raw information into patterns (such as buyer preferences on Amazon.com). The very old concept is the idea that scientific progress is represented by a magic object that contains all knowledge. The eighteenth-century version of this concept is a book-the encyclopedia that contains everything. The author's new spin is to suggest there is One True Algorithm, and once computer scientists find it, it will give them the answer to every question.
