scholarly informed survey of the roles bots played, are playing,
and might play in the future of the internet and digital devices. A

“This book is useful to readers interested in social media,
artificial intelligence, and the coevolution of bots and the World

two decades of contemporary bot research that will become an
important benchmark for LLM-fueled bots in the decade ahead.”
