520 "Bots-automated software applications programmed to
perform tasks online-have become a feature of our everyday
lives, from helping us navigate online systems to
assisting us with online shopping. Yet, despite enabling
internet users, bots are increasingly associated with
disinformation and concerning political intervention. In
this ground-breaking book, Monaco and Woolley offer the
first comprehensive overview of the history of bots,
tracing their varied applications throughout the past
sixty years and bringing to light the astounding influence
these computer programs have had on how humans understand
reality, communicate with each other, and wield power.
Drawing upon the authors' decade of experience in the
field, this book examines the role bots play in politics,
social life, business, and artificial intelligence.
Despite bots being a fundamental part of the web since the
early 1990s, the authors reveal how the socially oriented
ones continue to play an integral role in online
communication globally, especially as our daily lives
become increasingly automated."
