By: Vanessa ChangA dazzling tour of the history of technology and its complex relationship to the human body
What is the relationship between our bodies and our senses and technology? In today's world of blinding technological change, of artificial intelligence and deepfakes and Chat GPT, it is easy to forget that we have always had complicated relations with technology—whether that technology is computers, player pianos, and even eyeglasses.
In this wide-ranging and fascinating study, Vanessa Chang takes us on a historical tour of the interactions between our bodies and machines, showing that the advent of new technologies has always been met with varied reactions, from misplaced fear to tragic over-optimism. The result is cultural critique of the highest order and a profound demonstration of the eternal truth that in order to understand the future, we must look to the past.

Favorite toddler book
Format: Hardcover
Love love love this book. Bought it for my toddler and another for her friend as well. A good reminder to us parents that childhood memories are often made with messes.

Best Children's Book of 2024
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
My bibliophile kids (11 and 8) and I adore this book. The illustrations are delightfully inviting, the children are magically independent and loving, and the story encapsulates the gentle chaos of childhood in such a beautiful way. Highly recommend.

Great book!
Format: Hardcover
I hate when my kids make messes so this was the perfect book for me. It put things in perspective that messes aren't always a bad thing.

Great read
Format: Paperback
This is such a cute book, and would make a great present for any kids 12 and above as well as adults. I got this book for my daughter, and read the whole thing as soo'n as I got it out of the package. Very cute and funny, but all information on book is good positive words and not any bad or ugly information we normally see in most books or movies in this day in age. Is you like comic reads this is one for you. After writing this review I will probably read it again.
