Does It Exist If It’s Not on the Map? How Algorithms Change the Space Around Us

Digital maps do more than show us how to get from point A to point B. They also determine which restaurants we find, which routes we take, and which parts of a city we see at all. How do algorithms decide what appears on our maps, and how do those decisions reshape the physical world?
