In Mindless Simon Head argues that these systems have come to trump human expertise dictating the goals and strategies of a wide array of businesses and de - skilling the jobs of middle class workers in the process. CB Ss are especially dysfunctional Head argues when they apply their disembodied expertise to transactions between humans as in health care education customer relations and human resources management. And yet there are industries with more human approaches as Head illustrates with specific examples whose lead we must follow and extend to the mainstream American economy. Mindless illustrates the shortcomings of CBS providing an in - depth and disturbing look at how human dignity is slipping as we become cogs on a white collar assembly line.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: Mindless Why Smarter Machines Are Making Dumber Humans\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Head Simon\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Basic Books\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9780465018444\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 240 Pages\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 2\/11\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Impact Of Science \u0026amp; Technology On Society","brand":"Head Simon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51333193367857,"sku":"IN-G-9780465018444","price":38.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9780465018444.jpg?v=1746882711","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9780465018444-mindless-why-smarter-machines-are-making-dumber-humans","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
