There are some books which are more concerned with algorithms (in the correct sense of the term) within the field of Software Studies/Digital Humanities/Critical Code Studies.
Some books and articles:
[1] Protocol by Alexander Galloway
[2] 10 PRINT CHR$(205.5+RND(1));:GOTO 10 by Nick Montfort et al
[3] On "Sourcery" or Code as Fetish by Wendy Hui Kyong Chun
[4] The Exploit by Alexander Galloway and Eugene Thacker
I can list many more.
There was also a doctoral seminar taught by Alexander Galloway at NYU in 2010 called The Politics of Code. The reason Galloway's name pops up a ton is that he worked with r-s-g.org and has a fair amount of experience coding in addition to his academic credentials in literary theory.
