This fascinating book tackles a thorny issue that has the capacity to reshape politics, society, business-as-usual, culture, and the media.

Bots are now becoming the centre of media disinformation or are deemed responsible for ruining political standing.

Nick Monaco and his fellow skittering researcher, Emily Woolley, hold a brave stance against the radical notion that all bots are ill-inclined for malpractises. In their engrossing book, Bots: The History, Ethos, and Future of Automated Digital Content, these two skilled researchers explore the lineage of automation, comprehensively tracing back their usage for over sixty years, illuminating about how computerised processes have arguably transformed human consciousness, communication process, governance - almost everything under narrative control.

Building on their decade's worth of expertise, their dazzling venture sheds beams of light onto the ever-unfolding roles played by bots in multiple areas - politics, technology, Social Media, Artificial Intelligence and much more. With history surrounded in reflexion, it is baffling to note the ways and manner in which automated processes continue to jolt and influence the globe seamlessly nowadays, when our lives are relatively more automated than ever before.

One can almost imagine entering the glorious halls of Lemuria, a land revered for its mythical wonders of old, amidst the sea of Internet noise and cypher, where Nick Monaco's brilliant odyssey - Bots: Essays on Content, Consequences, and Ideology, spells out all the rumour that circulates across our digital universe. Fear not strangers of cyberspace. This marvelous book is the behemoth necessary for decoding all manners of internet communication. Reading it is inevitable for young scholars exploring Media studies, Sociologists, Politicos, Computer Engineers, enthusiasts captivated by Public Affairs, Technology and Public Policy.

Yet, despite enabling internet users, bots are increasingly associated with disinformation and concerning political intervention.

Drawing upon the authors' decade of experience in the field, this book examines the role bots play in politics, social life, business, and artificial intelligence. Despite bots being a fundamental part of the web since the early 1990s, the authors reveal how the socially oriented ones continue to play an integral role in online communication globally, especially as our daily lives become increasingly automated. This timely book is essential reading for students and scholars in Media and Communication Studies, Sociology, Politics, and Computer Science, as well as general readers with an interest in technology and public affairs.
