Reviews

Glenn Stenquist ，

Origional and thought provoking。

Geoff ，

I'm conflicted about this book。 On the one hand it has a very interesting thesis （and a way of thinking of robot human relations that I hadn't considered before）。 It's also full of lots of interesting examples， anecdotes， and histories of animals in human society。 But for some reason it wasn't that great a read。 It felt disjointed and jumpy， as if the author was going from one cool set of stories to another， and I didn't catch much of a unifying cohesion or through line to her story。 In the end I'm conflicted about this book。 On the one hand it has a very interesting thesis （and a way of thinking of robot human relations that I hadn't considered before）。 It's also full of lots of interesting examples， anecdotes， and histories of animals in human society。 But for some reason it wasn't that great a read。 It felt disjointed and jumpy， as if the author was going from one cool set of stories to another， and I didn't catch much of a unifying cohesion or through line to her story。 In the end I appreciate it for the stories and a new way of thinking， but I feel like it could have been better than it was。**Thanks to the author， publisher， and NetGalley for a free copy in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more
