PS Please give it to me straight in a review on GoodReads or Amazon! The ranking AI likes reviews even if they're bad... It also likes pictures of faces so...
*ISBN is the unique identifier the industry uses to keep track of books. It's like a barcode. Which my book comes with in case the bookstore asks :-)
I wrote You Teach the Machines to be an entertaining roadmap, manual and sometimes antidote to AI-driven change. The book helps articulate the fear and optimism experienced by you, me, our kids, their teachers, and our parents.
