SUMMARY
Lost in Automatic Translation is for anyone interested in language, language learning, automatic translators, chatbots and other language-based AIs. For non-experts, it is an easy-to-understand introduction to the issues surrounding translation; and for experts, it is a very readable take with fresh examples and a deviation from the staid formality of conventional academic texts. The focus here is on English, but the issues raised are relevant for any other language.
