Author of The Chaos Machine, part of the wider tech-criticism reading list behind this library's case against unchecked platform design.

Max Fisher is part of the secondary tier of technology critics the Evidence Library draws on for wider context. His book, The Chaos Machine, is grouped among a broader body of critical writing on how social-media algorithms and design choices shape behavior. Alongside Jaron Lanier, Roger McNamee, Adam Alter, Cal Newport, Sherry Turkle, and Nicholas Carr, his work rounds out the case this library makes for rethinking how platforms are designed and who they affect.
