"Shane’s peculiar genius is to feed her algorithms cultural oddments such as paint colours, recipes and ice-cream flavours, rather than (say) crystallographic data. The results – a warm shade of pink the neural network dubs “Stanky Bean”; a recipe for “clam frosting”; and (my personal favourite) an ice-cream flavour called “Necrostar with Chocolate Person” – are eccentric and often endearing. The book’s title is another example: apparently, “you look like a thing and I love you” is an algorithm’s idea of a great pick-up line. Frankly, I’ve heard worse."
