juliethomasaustin's review against another edition
4.0
At times a little dry because of the subject matter, but overall fascinating exploration of the relationship between humans and robots. It altered my opinions on driverless cars for sure.
robinlm's review
3.0
This book was fine, but pretty limited in scope. I would say 50% (maybe more?) was about automation in aviation. Another 30-40% was about undersea robotics, with a smidgen of space and other automation.
I certainly learned about the myths of autonomy and the realities of what autonomous robots/vehicles can and can't do (spoiler alert: even with our tiny brains, we're a lot better at navigating through human-based spaces than self-driving cars, etc.).
