Her writing is witty and clear, filled with real-world examples that show both the promise and peril of automated decision-making. Fry avoids alarmism, instead offering a nuanced guide to navigating a world increasingly mediated by machines. The book is engaging, thought-provoking, and ideal for readers curious about the intersection of technology and society.
