Artificial Unintelligence

4 stars

Broussard is an excellent guide to the dangers of "technochauvinism." She clearly has an excellent understanding of computers, programming, and people. Reading this book made me think about the ways in which we alter what we are doing to accommodate computers, rather than having machines serve us. The book promotes a healthy skepticism towards the claims of technology's acolytes, which will probably become more and more critical in the coming years.
