Synopsis
Walkley Award-winning journalist Tracey Spicer exposes the next frontier of feminism. Man-Made aims to open readers&’ eyes to a transformative technological shift in society and give them the tools to make positive change. `Mum, I want a robot slave.&’ Broadcaster Tracey Spicer had an epiphany when her young son uttered these six words. Suddenly, her life&’s work fighting inequality seemed futile. What&’s the point in agitating to change the present, if bigotry is being embedded into our futures? And so began a quest to uncover who was responsible and hold them to account. Who is the ultimate villain? Big Tech, whose titans refuse to spend money to fix the problem? The world&’s politicians, who lack the will to legislate? Or should we all be walking into a hall of mirrors and taking a good, hard look at ourselves…? This is a deeply researched, illuminating and gripping ride into an uncertain future, culminating in a resounding call to action that will shake the tech sector to its foundations.Praise for Man-Made &‘Exhilarating … The book we need as we grapple with how AI will change our lives and our world.&’ Dame Quentin Bryce &‘Brilliant, hilarious and terrifying. You&’ll never see Alexa the same way again.&’ Juanita Phillips &‘Tracey Spicer uses her unmistakably human voice to warn us all about the deeply sexist Frankenstein&’s Monster that is modern AI.&’ Yumi Stynes
