'Machines Of Loving Grace' by John Markoff

  As robots are integrated increasingly into modern society on the battlefield, on the road, business, education, and health those who design the machines have a stark choice to make: They can design systems that enhance the quality of human work and life or they can design systems that replace humans entirely. Both approaches will reshape the modern world. 

In the new book, Machines of Loving Grace: The Quest for Common Ground Between Humans and Robots, Pulitzer-Prize winning New York Times reporter John Markoff explores this issue and looks for an answer to perhaps on of the most important questions of our age; will these robots help us or replace us? 

Joe talks to people on the radio for a living. In addition to countless impressive human "gets" - he has talked to a lot of Muppets. Joe grew up in Philadelphia, has been on the area airwaves for more than 25 years and currently lives in Washington County, NY with his wife, Kelly, and their dog, Brady. And yes, he reads every single book.
