Review Quote	A stylish, thoughtful, and scrupulously fair-minded account of what the software that increasingly governs our lives can and cannot do … A beautifully accessible guide that leaps lightly from one story to the next without sparing the reader hard questions… deserves a place in the bestseller charts.
Other text	With refreshing simplicity, Fry explains what AI, machine learning and complicated algorithms really mean, providing some succinct explanations of the Cambridge Analytica scandal, driverless cars and many other unnerving modern phenomena…This book illustrates why good science writers are essential.
