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/book…


Really appreciate Andreas Bischoff's attentive and insightful review of my book "Robots Won't Save Japan" for Symbolic Interaction @SIJournal

Happy to announce the publication of a chapter on AI and care with Grace Whitfield and @kateameliah, part of the newly released Handbook on Public Policy and AI!
