Description
Bots have been a part of our online lives for over sixty years, with automated software applications helping us navigate systems and assist with tasks. However, their influence extends far beyond these practical uses, shaping how we understand reality, communicate, and wield power. This comprehensive overview explores the varied applications of bots throughout history, from their early days to their current role in politics, social life, business, and artificial intelligence. Drawing on the authors' decade-long experience in the field, the book examines the integral part that socially oriented bots play in online communication globally. A timely and insightful read for those interested in technology and public affairs, this book is a valuable resource for students and scholars in Media and Communication Studies, Sociology, Politics, and Computer Science.
