Love in the Time of Algorithms: What Technology Does to Meeting and Mating (2013) by Dan Slater is a book about online dating and its effect on relationships. Slater traces the industry from computer dating at Harvard in 1965 to the websites of the internet era. Drawing on history, psychology and interviews with site founders and users, he asks how unlimited choice changes the way people think about commitment, whether chemistry can be calculated and how the business models of dating companies shape the way people search for partners.
