About Rage, she wrote:

"We have long been fans of Robert E Smith’s ability to give context and consideration to the intrinsic yet intricate role technology plays in our lives. Here, in this extraordinary book, he has outlined his crafted, well-measured, respectful and well-reasoned approach based on decades in industry and academia. He shines a light on the dangers of accepting a passive role in our relationship with tech, and deftly explains the information we really need to know before committing ourselves further to machines. Essential reading for anyone wanting to know how to keep their sanity and humanity in the age of super-tech.”
