{"product_id":"9783837655605","title":"More Than Machines?","description":"\u003cp\u003eWe know that robots are just machines. Why then do we often talk about them as if they were alive? Laura Voss explores this fascinating phenomenon, providing a rich insight into practices of animacy (and inanimacy) attribution to robot technology: from science-fiction to robotics R\u0026amp;D, from science communication to media discourse, and from the theoretical perspectives of STS to the cognitive sciences. Taking an interdisciplinary perspective, and backed by a wealth of empirical material, Voss shows how scientists, engineers, journalists – and everyone else – can face the challenge of robot technology appearing »a little bit alive« with a reflexive and yet pragmatic stance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"transcript","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":65418423828829,"sku":null,"price":33.74,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.gazellebookservices.co.uk\/products\/9783837655605","provider":"Gazelle Book Services","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
