In an era when every click, scroll, and hesitation is monetized, Your Wallet vs. the Algorithm unveils the hidden mechanics of AI-driven pricing and dynamic offers that shape your digital purchases. From surge pricing on rideshares to personalized discounts you never knew you deserved—and the fees that never end—this book dissects how algorithms extract maximum profit under the guise of efficiency. You’ll discover how your device fingerprint, browsing behavior, and loyalty status determine the price you see, and why “deals” are often illusions engineered to prey on cognitive biases like anchoring and FOMO.

Through thirty meticulously researched chapters, readers gain an insider’s view of the algorithmic bazaar: how personalized pricing mortgaged our data for “exclusive” offers, why surge multipliers masquerade as fairness, and how dark patterns and real-time bidding auctions commodify our attention. You’ll learn the VPN gambit, multi-window triangulation, and other counter-strategies to reclaim autonomy over your wallet. Ethical implications and regulatory gaps are explored in depth, along with concrete tactics for budgeting under algorithmic pressure, introducing friction to thwart automated yield-management, and organizing collective “wallet cooperatives” to expose discriminatory pricing.

Whether you’re a frequent traveler tired of last-minute surge fees, a shopper frustrated by never-ending “flash sales,” or simply someone who values transparent commerce, this book arms you with the knowledge to decode—and disrupt—the silent experiments that govern modern marketplaces. Humanize your wallet, resist algorithmic overreach, and transform every transaction into an act of intentional choice.
