★★★★☆

Debugging The Uncanny Valley offers a compelling take on Uncanny Valley, though not without flaws. While the treatment of Robotics is excellent, I found the sections on Robotics less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about Robotics Psychology that aren't always fully supported. That said, the book's strengths in discussing Human-Computer Interaction more than compensate for any weaknesses. Readers looking for Robotics Psychology will find much to appreciate here, even if not every argument lands perfectly. Overall, a valuable addition to the literature on Robotics, if not the definitive work.

I absolutely loved Debugging The Uncanny Valley! It completely changed my perspective on Uncanny Valley. At first I wasn't sure about Uncanny Valley, but by chapter 3 I was completely hooked. The way the author explains Human-Computer Interaction is so clear and relatable - it's like they're talking directly to you. I've already recommended this to all my friends who are interested in Digital Human Design. What I appreciated most was how the book made Human Perception feel so accessible. I'll definitely be rereading this one - there's so much to take in!

Debugging The Uncanny Valley offers a compelling take on Uncanny Valley, though not without flaws. While the treatment of Human-Computer Interaction is excellent, I found the sections on Uncanny Valley less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about Avatar Design that aren't always fully supported. That said, the book's strengths in discussing Human Perception more than compensate for any weaknesses. Readers looking for Synthetic Faces will find much to appreciate here, even if not every argument lands perfectly. Overall, a valuable addition to the literature on Robotics, if not the definitive work.
