Algorithm is the last chapter of a trilogy set in the world of finance - following DplusOne and Local (Draft Version) - which observes the growing abstraction of an economy in which data is overtaking 'real' trade.

synopsis

The acceleration and abstraction of trading (from commodities to financial products to sets of data) here takes a major leap as we examine algorithmic trading and the people who perform this type of work. In the end, nothing gets explained and we remain on the outside looking in. Algorithm is an essay impression of a specific area of high finance, set high in the sky in futuristic buildings populated by sharply-dressed characters speaking a mysterious language.
