"[Dr. Turow ] is encouraging policymakers and the public to do something I wish we did more often: Be careful and considerate about how we use a powerful technology before it might be used for consequential decisions."--Shira Ovide, New York Times "This compelling and comprehensive book . is more than a consideration of the current state of speech technology. [It] is also a serious call to action, expressing concern about the dearth of oversight on the collection of voice data, its use to identify individual people, its management and security risks, and . future possible commercial uses."--Heath Row, New Media & Society "Informative and engaging. Some of the scenarios for the future capabilities of the voice intelligence industry seem rather speculative.

Yet now, only a few years later, much of what Turow predicted has become reality."--Nils S.
