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. https://t.co/tnl6bxpbO4

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