About the Film
In the 21st century, fueled by technology, data, and algorithms, math determines who has the power to shape our world. In our current information economy, math is everywhere. The people we date, the news we see, the influence of our votes, the candidates who win elections, the education we have access to, the jobs we get β all of it is underwritten by an invisible layer of math that few of us understand, or even notice.
