The Master Algorithm by Pedro Domingos is one of the most important books I have ever read.

That’s a massive declaration considering the wealth of literature that’s been published. But in terms of my long standing interest in Digital Literacy its not an understatement. Domingos sets out the ‘five tribes’ of machine learning: inductive reasoning, connectionism, evolutionary computation, bayes theorem and analogical modelling. The book is as much about epistemology and ontology as it is technology. It’s a must read for anyone interested in the digital world now and in the future, the future being the operative word.
