In his new book, “Talking to Robots,” award-winning journalist and author, David Ewing Duncan, explores what happens when robots become ubiquitous characters in our everyday lives. From Facebookbot and Sexbot to Coffeebot and Warriorbot and, for our health tech purposes, Doctorbot, David imagines a future-state where today’s tech takes over. Interesting food for thought for anyone working in tech when it comes to thinking through the good (and possibly bad!) aspects of their innovations.
