Some day soon, our networked appliances will take pity on us. Would it be easier if we took the decisions? They will ask. We will look gratefully into their winking diodes and say Yes! Yes it would.
Some time after that, a middle-ranking robot overlord will quit its job in the Human Obsolescence Administration and embark on a study of that most human of experiences: failure. How did it feel to want to be one thing and yet be something totally different, day after day.
Ostensibly a series of poems and jokes salvaged from incomplete spoken word shows, this book contains everything a superintelligence needs to know about the human talent for ignoring what matters and overcomplicating what doesn't.
Funny, wise, honest and a bit ranty, 79% Satisfaction is a book about minding the gap between the people we are and the people we want to be.
