The next great technological disruption is coming.
The titans of Silicon Valley are racing to build the last, best computer that the world will ever need. Whoever successfully creates it will revolutionise our relationship with technology—and make billions of dollars in the process. It is known as conversational AI.
For years, computers that can speak and think like humans have been on the verge of becoming a reality. Now, James Vlahos introduces the researchers at Google, Amazon and Apple who are leading the way to a voice tech revolution. And he reveals how their discoveries will transform every sector of society—from revolutionising how we use the internet, to transforming our understanding of consciousness.
Vlahos's research leads him to one fundamental question: What happens when our computers become as articulate, compassionate, and creative as we are?
'Brilliant and essential . . . You'll find insights and meaning on every page, and you’ll keep turning them. This book is dynamite.'
—Nicholas Thompson, editor-in-chief of Wired
'Conversational AI is a genuine paradigm shift in our experience with technology. Vlahos brings the whole story to life . . . A thoughtful and enjoyable read.'
—Tom Gruber, co-creator of Siri
'The baton of disruption has been passed from the smart phone to voice, and Vlahos helps make sense of this tectonic shift.'
—Scott Galloway, author of The Four
'Voice computing is revolutionising the way we interact with our devices. Talk to Me offers a road map showing how we got to this point and the opportunities and risks that lie ahead.'
—Martin Ford, author of The Rise of the Robots
'James Vlahos has written an excellent book on how voice computing has become more and more of a growing presence in our everyday world.'
—Ray Kurzweil, author of The Singularity Is Near

Store description
In 2002, World of Books Group was founded on an ethos to do good, protect the planet and support charities by enabling more goods to be reused. Since then, we've grown into to a global company pioneering the circular economy. Today, we drive the circular economy through three re-commerce brands: - Wob: Through Wob, we sell. We provide affordable, preloved books and media to customers all over the world. A book leaves our collection of over seven million titles and begins a new chapter every two seconds, enabling more goods to be reused. - Ziffit: Through Ziffit, we buy. We give people around the world the opportunity to contribute to the circular economy, earn money and protect the planet, by trading their unwanted books and media. - Shopiago: Through Shopiago, we help others. By sharing the technology that has grown World of Books Group into the business it is today, we’re helping charities increase revenue and reduce waste through re-commerce.…
