Reviews

This book offers a thorough and well-researched dive into Bateson's thinking on purpose, instrumentalism, technology, and epistemology. It is an important contribution to the discourse on AI and on the rapid development of the tech sector. Philosophically the book tackles difficult systemic questions about technology and addresses them at a much more sophisticated level than most books of its kind. - Nora Bateson, The International Bateson Institute
