Indeed. It's a real struggle as the nature of how this operates on intersections ("people who like Foo also like Baz") mean that escaping a "bubble" really just means moving to its fringes. The more inward and consolidated a bubble is, the harder it will be to escape it (with the current approach) because there'll be almost no intersections that reach beyond its borders. :/ And grabbing random books from beyond its borders is as useful as walking into a bookstore and pointing blindfolded at a shelf.
Ah, that might explain some strange behaviour I had. I entered a few fairly disparate books including "Red Mars" by Kim Stanley Robinson and was recommended an Asimov compilation, which is not worlds apart.
Though I guess if one iteratively reads at "the fringes" and uses this tool they'll gradually move out of the bubble?
Cool tool though, I think I might try doing just that ^
