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》這本書從機器人領域的經典案例到機器人建構的技巧，再到機器人在社交媒體世界中的地位，探討了Twitter提供的獨特創造力和好奇心，無論是對人類還是機器來說。
Twitter擁有一個獨特的媒介，讓人類和機器都能發揮創造力和好奇心。Twitter機器人是自主軟體系統，可以將自己編寫的訊息發送到Twitter上，與人類創作者的推文混合在一起；在Twitter上追蹤你的下一個人或“喜歡”你的推文的人可能根本不是人。你在Twitter上追蹤的下一個內容生成器也可能是一個機器人。本書探討了Twitter機器人的世界，從機器人領域的經典案例到機器人建構的技巧，再到機器人在社交媒體世界中的地位。
在《Twitter機器人》一書中，Tony Veale和Mike Cook不僅探討了將Twitter的功能應用於自己的Twitter機器人的技術挑戰，還探討了建構能夠自行創作機智、引人入勝且簡潔的輸出的機器人所面臨的更大的知識工程挑戰。Veale和Cook帶領讀者遊覽了一些Twitter上最著名的機器人，從每小時發送一系列BONG聲的冷峻的@big_ben_clock，到找到並配對可以以抑揚格五音步讀取的推文的迷人的@pentametron，再到微軟的災難性@TayAndYou（從其他推文中“學習”陰謀論、種族主義和極端政治觀點）。他們解釋了如何使用Java編程來操作Twitter的軟體接口，並將技術細節降到最低，專注於機器人及其生成世界的創造性影響。他們認為，每個Twitter機器人都是一個數位形式的思考實驗；每個機器人都體現了關於意義生成和創造力本質的假設，鼓勵其追隨者成為樂於接受自動創作的測試對象和熱切的消費者。
有些機器人和它們的作者一樣邪惡。就像Veale和Cook在這本書中提到的機器人，它利用你的網絡連接在暗網上尋找購買鈽的機會。-@PROSECCOnetwork
“如果寫作就像烹飪，那麼這本關於Twitter機器人的新書就像用鯨脂代替奶油製作的蘋果夏洛特。”-@PROSECCOnetwork
