From time to time, people ask me for book recommendations pertaining
to my research area (Natural Language Dialogue meets Robotics meets
Artificial Intelligence). Unfortunately, I rarely have a satisfying
answer to this question, as I don't actually know of any books that
sit at this precise intersection of fields. Everything I know about my
research area I learned by reading conference papers and journal
articles; if there are books on the topic, I'd love to read them, and
I should be reading them, but unfortunately I'm just not aware of the
existence of any such books.

What I *can* do is recommend (1) survey articles on closely related
topics, and (2) books on more tangentially related topics. Here we go!
