Social media platforms hold vast amounts of biographical data about our lives. They repackage our past content as ‘memories’ and deliver them back to us. But how does that change the way we remember? Drawing on original qualitative research as well as industry documents and reports, this book critically explores the process behind this new form of memory making. In asking how social media are beginning to change the way we remember, it will be essential reading for scholars and students who are interested in understanding the algorithmically defined spaces of our lives.

社交媒体平台拥有大量关于我们生活的传记数据。他们把我们过去的内容重新包装成 "记忆"，并把它们送回给我们。但这是如何改变我们的记忆方式的呢？本书借鉴了原始的定性研究以及行业文件和报告，批判性地探讨了这种新形式的记忆制造背后的过程。在询问社交媒体是如何开始改变我们的记忆方式时，它将是那些对理解我们生活中的算法定义空间感兴趣的学者和学生的必读之作。
