It's a very short book about 20-40 minutes to read it. While social, cultural and economic impacts of robots aren't the main focus of this book, it does touch on ethical issues, including a brief but nice critique of Asimov's Three Laws. This book is a good tour of both the state of the art, as well as a tour of some of the unanswered questions.. My objective was to find a short book to use as a recommended or even required background reading, so that students could get some very simple technical foundations and learn some useful distinctions, e.g. That makes the book a useful bridge to deeper exploration of the related social issues.The main negative is that the "Further reading" section is considerably shorter than in some other Very Short Introductions, and in its brief span mixes some good items with the occasional clinker, such as Eric Drexler's popular book on nanobots (which are neither addressed in the main text, nor as physically viable as Drexler made them seem). He is a very good first year high school student and found it to be both interesting and educational.. This is especially true when looking at the borders between hardware and software which he sees little distinction. Some of the illustrations are hard to see on smaller kindles. You can probably find a video
Weaver makes important suggestions as to how this unity may be extended to include semantics and pragmatics."--Philosophical Review "This book cannot be ignored by anyone with direct professional concern with these applications and many applied physicists without this concern should, like the reviewer, find the book absorbing."--S. Whitehead, British Journal of Applied Physics . "A beautiful example of a theory that unifies hitherto separate branches of physical science, and Dr . Scientific knowledge grows at a phenomenal pace--but few books have had as lasting an impact or played as important a role in our modern world as The Mathematical Theory of Communication, published originally as a paper on communication theory more than fifty years ago. Republished in book form shortly thereafter, it has since gone through four hardcover and sixteen paperback printings. It is a revolutionary work, astounding in its foresight and contemporaneity. The University of Illinois Press is pleased and honored to issue this commemorative reprinting of a classic
