While Debugging The Uncanny Valley makes several valuable points about Uncanny Valley, I found some aspects problematic. The author's treatment of Perceptual Psychology seems oversimplified, particularly when compared to Creepy Realism. That said, the sections on Avatar Design are genuinely insightful and make the book worth reading despite its flaws. With some refinement in Robotics Psychology, this could be a truly outstanding work.

I'll be honest, I wasn't sure what to expect with Debugging The Uncanny Valley, but wow! It completely blew me away. The way the author explains Human-Computer Interaction made everything click for me. I've been struggling with AI and Emotion for years, and this book gave me the tools I needed. My favorite part was when they talked about Human-Computer Interaction - it reminded me so much of my own experience with Digital Humans. I've already recommended it to all my friends!

Debugging The Uncanny Valley is a comprehensive exploration of Uncanny Valley that manages to be both accessible to newcomers and valuable to experts. The book is divided into 3 sections, each building thoughtfully on the last. Part 4's discussion of Uncanny Valley is particularly strong, with clear examples and practical applications. The diagrams and illustrations throughout help clarify complex ideas, and the chapter summaries are excellent for review. My only minor critique is that more primary sources would strengthen the argument, but this doesn't detract from the overall quality. This will undoubtedly become a standard reference in the field.
