I WROTE A BOOK AND THIS IS THE COVER
It's called ALGOSPEAK: How Social Media is Transforming the Future of Language, and it's coming out on July 15! The book dives into how algorithms are shaping our words, from "unalive" to "skibidi" to "cottagecore" — and how that's affecting our society at large.
📚 Thanks to Tyler Comrie and the team at @aaknopf for helping put this cover together.
