Tom Chatfield is one of the smartest and most original tech thinkers writing today. Both <b>thought-provoking</b> and<b> startlingly original</b>, <i>Wise Animals</i> is his magnum opus.
- Roman Krznaric, author of <i>The Good Ancestor</i>,
<b>Powerful, profound and completely engrossing</b>, this is a multitudinous meditation on not only technology but also history, culture, ideas, ethics, psychology and, above all, what it means to be human. It brims and fizzes with insight and argument, but never loses touch with that core attribute of its title: wisdom. In an age of intelligent machines, Tom Chatfield has written <b>an essential handbook</b> we will return to again and again
- Michael Bhaskar, co-author of <i>The Coming Wave</i>,
A <b>timely reflection</b> about historical and technological time that is worthy of your precious hours, as erudite and thoughtful as a reader might expect from a leading philosopher of technology.
- Jonathan Rowson, author of <i>The Moves That Matter</i>,
Writer and ‘tech-philosopher’ Chatfield is my go-to thinker on making sense of humanity’s relationship with technology. <i>Wise Animals</i> is a<b> highly readable</b> exploration of just that relationship, from the emergence of our species to now.
- Caroline Sanderson, <i>The Bookseller</i>,
