Reviews

The book provides a new theoretical model to understand the cultural and contextual meanings of personality design, specifically cuteness. This model has the potential to lead user-experience professionals and software developers toward the future of personality design in artificial intelligence. (Laura Rokey, IEEE Transactions on Professional Communication, Vol. 62 (1), March, 2019)
