About the author
Isaac S. Pereira is a writer of literary nonfiction and cultural criticism. His work examines the technologies and beliefs that shape modern life — from artificial intelligence to the institutions of faith — and the uneasy things they tell us about ourselves.
His books are written for readers who want more than a take: careful, argued, and unwilling to flatter the reader or the subject.
"We made a machine to imitate us. The trouble is how much it got right."
