Descrição do livro
obots as House Helpers and Housemaids begins where the dream began in ancient myth and follows it all the way to the robotic vacuum humming across your living room floor tonight. It is a book about the machines quietly entering our homes, one task at a time, and about everything that follows from that entry. It traces the long history of domestic labor, from the brutal reality of laundry day before washing machines to the first autonomous robots that learned to navigate a real household without being told where to go. It examines, room by room, what robots are already doing in millions of homes around the world and what they are not yet able to do, and it looks honestly at the gap between the two. It asks hard questions about the workers whose livelihoods are being displaced, the caregivers whose burdens may be eased or simply reassigned, and the women who have historically carried the heaviest share of domestic labor and who may or may not find that burden lightened by automation. It explores the strange and surprisingly tender psychology of living alongside machines why we name them, worry about them, and feel faintly guilty about replacing them. It confronts the legal and regulatory wilderness that surrounds domestic robots, where accountability for harm remains dangerously unclear and data from our most private spaces flows to destinations most of us have never considered. It looks forward to the fully automated home that is closer than most people realize, and asks what we will do with ourselves once the machines have taken over the housework. And beneath all of it, it carries a single insistent question that no amount of technology can answer for us: what kind of home are we actually trying to build, and for whom? This is not a book about robots. It is a book about us.
