{"product_id":"god-in-the-machine-emmanuel-grimaud-9781836955276","title":"God in the Machine: The Ganesh Yourself Experiment","description":"\u003cp\u003e A teleoperated robot roaming in the streets of Mumbai enables anyone to put oneself in the place of the Hindu god Ganesha and have a conversation. Initially conceived as an anthropological experiment, the machine was launched in 2014 and became a collective, political and metaphysical experience. Can a machine make a good divine interface? Likewise, what might be the virtues of hacking a god to understand our relation to machines? The Ganesh Yourself experiment is not only a fascinating exercise in anthropology by design, the first of this kind, but it also leads to a radical deconstruction of religion, politics and technology, opening unthinkable possibilities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Emmanuel Grimaud\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1836955278\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781836955276\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Berghahn Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/15\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Library Binding\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.63d","brand":"Emmanuel Grimaud","offers":[{"title":"Library Binding","offer_id":48588388630783,"sku":"9781836955276","price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/god-in-the-machine-emmanuel-grimaud-9781836955276","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
