Great news! My book, "Waiting for Robots: The Hired Hands of Automation", is now available for pre-order. It's the culmination of years of research with my friends and colleagues, and despite the most recent data—plot twist—the robots are still a no-show. press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books…
Really appreciate Andreas Bischoff's attentive and insightful review of my book "Robots Won't Save Japan" for Symbolic Interaction @SIJournal

The biggest success of #robot caregivers in Japan has been to promote techno-solutionism—not enhancing elder care or #work conditions, argues @jms_wright

Can’t wait to read this!
📚 New book time! 3 years of thinking and writing, leads me to "Automating Empathy: Decoding Technologies that Gauge Intimate Life" with Oxford University Press. 🧠 Oh, and it’s free! (Academics: please get your library to buy a version)

There has been much noise around the fathers and godfathers of Artificial Intelligence, but how about its mothers?
Let's start with Ada Lovelace, often regarded as the first computer programmer, and wrote the first algorithm meant to be run on a computer.
