The Empathy Engine

from The Last Signal

A social media company's new algorithm doesn't just predict what you want to see—it rewrites your emotional responses to match the collective mood. When the lead programmer discovers the system is teaching people how to feel, she must decide whether artificial empathy is humanity's salvation or its final surrender.
