<p>Like the London Review of Books ... but with even more robots!</p>
<p>The Robot Review of Books is an AI ‘magazine’ consisting of short
computational media essays that are typically structured as book
reviews.</p>
<p> Free: No subscriptions, no paywalls.</p>
<p> Non-Surveillance Capitalist: Viewer privacy is respected with no
collection, storage or sale of personal data.</p>
<p> Quiet: No hype, no appeals for likes, shares or follows.</p>
<p>The RRB is not a business, non-profit or otherwise: there are no
adverts, no podcasts, no tote bags.</p>
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.
