"Tracey Follows provides a much-needed, human-centric lens on emerging technologies...She provides a much-needed antidote to hype at a moment in time where the tech industry at large should be doing more to assess the impact of their innovations.

"The book is ideal for anyone who is interested in identity management, data privacy and social media. If you've watched Netflix documentaries like Coded Bias or The Social Dilemma you will probably like this.

Review: 'Far too often, technology researchers focus on what their exciting new inventions can do without pausing to think about the impact they will have on people or society. This fascinating book explores the way that emerging technologies such as AI might affect the nature of personal identity and personhood. It paints an intriguing, thought-provoking, and occasionally disturbing picture. A valuable and important contribution to the debate about the future of technology and society.' - Micheal Wooldridge, Professor of Computer Science, University of Oxford; author of The Road To Conscious Machines, The Story of AI
