<div dir="ltr">Dear Colleagues, I just published a short book--really an extended essay-- <i>Living with Computers: The Digital World of Today and Tomorrow</i> with Springer-Verlag. It speculates on the role and meaning of computers in society, combining things we historians have learned with what other disciplines are doing now (e.g., in AI) and potential effects on humans going forward. I raise questions and discuss implications. The book is aimed at a broad audience, discussing issues from the perspective of an historian. This book should not be confused with the 2 that Bill Aspray and I published last fall, Fake News Nation<i> </i>and From Urban Legends to Political Fact-Checking. <br clear="all"><div><br></div>-- <br><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div>James W.
