The Age of Algorithms (2020) - Serge ABITEBOUL & Gilles DOWEK

 The book, written for none programmers, starts with a simple explanation of algorithms and how computers use algorithms.

The word algorithm is used in its most generic sense. 

Overall, a good read for a non-computationally inclined audience.
