Linguist and content creator Adam Aleksic explores how social media algorithms are reshaping the way we speak, write, and think. Algospeak reveals the hidden forces behind coded words, euphemisms, and emerging slang that users invent to evade content moderation and chase engagement, and shows how platforms like TikTok are accelerating language change at unprecedented speed. Sharp, accessible, and full of surprising examples, this lively book offers a fascinating look at how technology is rewiring communication and the future of the English language.
