Book Summary

The Economy of Algorithms unpacks the emergence of a new economic era—where self‑acting algorithms (or “digital minions”) are reshaping industries, work, and everyday life. Kowalkiewicz argues that while the corporate age gave way to the digital economy built on people, we now inhabit the algorithmic economy, where automation, AI, and autonomous agents execute tasks, make decisions, and sometimes, even surprise us .

Through engaging stories, case studies, and analogies, the author explores how algorithms optimize shopping, target advertising—even to smart fridges—and manage employment by controlling ride‑share assignments. He delves into unintended consequences, from algorithmic bias and price gouging to surveillance risks and job displacement .

Importantly, the book concludes with nine practical rules—from embracing curiosity and optimism to effective oversight—that help individuals and organizations thrive alongside these digital agents rather than being outpaced by them
