Like the London Review of Books ... but with even more robots!

The Robot Review of Books is an AI ‘magazine’ consisting of short
computational media essays that are typically structured as book reviews.

  Free: No subscriptions, no paywalls.

  Non-Surveillance Capitalist: Viewer privacy is respected with no
collection, storage or sale of personal data.

  Quiet: No hype, no appeals for likes, shares or follows.

The RRB is not a business, non-profit or otherwise: there are no
adverts, no podcasts, no tote bags.

It's not run by would-be influencers, human or machine. So, no urging
you to get in touch if you have any questions. And new content does not
appear online according to a regular schedule - and certainly not one
set by the algorithms of social media. Contributions are just added to
the Robot Review of Books when they are ready to be published.

RRB #1 'Introduction', and RRB #2 'Atlas of AI by Kate Crawford', might
be the only ones. Or they might be the first of many.
