Vlahos illuminates the enormous AI challenges that voice computing presents, and unpacks its vast economic, cultural, and psychological impact. Behind-the-scenes reporting reveals how Google, Apple, Microsoft, and other titans are waging a multibillion-dollar war to create the new voice-driven interfaces that will dominate the future.
