Would have been better to read this closer to when it was published back in 2000. The author talks extensively about furbies, lego mindstorms, the introduction of the world wide web and virtual reality. If you want history and context for these, then you'll like the book.

The boundaries between physical and virtual are increasingly blurred, which is a phenomenon open to multiple interpretations. Pesce chooses to concentrate on play and toys, based on the toy designs made possible by technological innovations but drawing out more general threads towards the intersection of artificial intelligence and ubiquitous computing.
