When companies develop a new technology, do they ask how it
might affect the people who will actually use it? That, more or
less, sums up Brian David Johnson's duties as Intel's
futurist-in-residence. In this fascinating book, Johnson provides a
collection of science fiction prototyping stories that attempt to
answer the question.
These stories focus on the same theme: scientists and thinkers
exploring personal robotics as a new form of artificial
intelligence. This isn't fanciful speculation. Johnson's stories
are based on Intel's futurecasting research, which uses
ethnographic field studies, technology research, trend data, and
science fiction to develop a pragmatic vision of consumers and
computing. "21st Century Robot" presents science fiction designed
to bring about science fact.
