About this talk :
Kevin Slavin argues that we're living in a world designed for -- and increasingly controlled by -- algorithms. In this riveting talk from TEDGlobal, he shows how these complex computer programs determine: espionage tactics, stock prices, movie scripts, and architecture. And he warns that we are writing code we can't understand, with implications we can't control.

"Strange Attractors" is name for a phenomenon where non-linear algorithms (e.g. the algorithm to paint the Mandelbrot Set is is about 5KB but you do need a fast computer) repeating many times over faster than the human brain works creates a inflection point in the complex interaction...
