The world of Twitterbots, from botdom's greatest hits to bot construction to the place of the bot in the social media universe.
Twitter offers a unique medium for creativity and curiosity for humans and machines. The tweets of Twitterbots, autonomous software systems that send messages of their own composition into the Twittersphere, mingle with the tweets of human creators; the next person to follow you on Twitter or to “like” your tweets may not a person at all. The next generator of content that you follow on Twitter may also be a bot. This book examines the world of Twitterbots, from botdom's greatest hits to the hows and whys of bot-building to the place of bots in the social media landscape.
In Twitterbots, Tony Veale and Mike Cook examine not only the technical challenges of bending the affordances of Twitter to the implementation of your own Twitterbots but also the greater knowledge-engineering challenge of building bots that can craft witty, provocative, and concise outputs of their own. Veale and Cook offer a guided tour of some of Twitter's most notable bots, from the deadpan @big_ben_clock, which tweets a series of BONGs every hour to mark the time, to the delightful @pentametron, which finds and pairs tweets that can be read in iambic pentameter, to the disaster of Microsoft's @TayAndYou (which “learned” conspiracy theories, racism, and extreme politics from other tweets). They explain how to navigate Twitter's software interfaces to program your own Twitterbots in Java, keeping the technical details to a minimum and focusing on the creative implications of bots and their generative worlds. Every Twitterbot, they argue, is a thought experiment given digital form; each embodies a hypothesis about the nature of meaning making and creativity that encourages its followers to become willing test subjects and eager consumers of automated creation.
Some bots are as malevolent as their authors. Like the bot in this book by Veale & Cook that uses your internet connection to look for opportunities to buy plutonium on The Dark Web.”

商品描述(中文翻譯)
Twitter機器人的世界，從機器人界的經典之作到機器人的建構，再到機器人在社交媒體宇宙中的地位。
Twitter為人類和機器提供了一個獨特的創意和好奇心的媒介。Twitter機器人的推文，這些自主軟體系統發送自己創作的訊息，與人類創作者的推文交織在一起；下一個在Twitter上關注你或“喜歡”你推文的人，可能根本不是人類。你在Twitter上關注的下一個內容生成者也可能是一個機器人。本書探討了Twitter機器人的世界，從機器人界的經典之作到機器人建構的方式與原因，再到機器人在社交媒體格局中的地位。
在《Twitterbots》中，Tony Veale和Mike Cook不僅探討了如何利用Twitter的功能來實現自己的Twitter機器人的技術挑戰，還探討了構建能夠創作機智、挑釁和簡潔輸出的機器人的更大知識工程挑戰。Veale和Cook提供了一個導覽，介紹Twitter上一些最著名的機器人，從每小時發出一系列BONG聲以標記時間的死板@big_ben_clock，到能夠找到並配對可以用五步詩（iambic pentameter）朗讀的推文的可愛@pentametron，再到微軟的@TayAndYou的災難（該機器人從其他推文中“學習”陰謀論、種族主義和極端政治）。他們解釋了如何導航Twitter的軟體介面，以Java編程實現自己的Twitter機器人，將技術細節保持在最低限度，並專注於機器人及其生成世界的創意意涵。他們主張，每個Twitter機器人都是一個數位形式的思想實驗；每個機器人都體現了一個關於意義創造和創造力本質的假設，鼓勵其追隨者成為願意的測試對象和渴望的自動創作消費者。
有些機器人和它們的創作者一樣惡意。就像Veale和Cook在本書中提到的那個機器人，它利用你的網路連接尋找在黑暗網路上購買鈈的機會。
