On raising a digital human: a personal evolution
Badler N., Springer International Publishing, Cham, Switzerland, 2025. 249 pp. Type: Book (9783031639449)
Date Reviewed: May 12 2025

This book is about the author’s life and work in creating digital humans. Digital humans are computer models that look and move like real people. The author, Norman I. Badler, explains how his own research helped shape this area. Stories from his career show readers how science, art, and technology came together to make these digital models. The book connects many fields, like computer science, medicine, and animation, to show why digital humans are important.

This book is not a textbook for learning how to make digital humans. It does not have code or lessons; however, it gives helpful background for students or readers who already know a little bit about technology. The writing is easy to follow, and the author’s many personal stories make the book more interesting. Readers will learn how the idea of digital humans has changed and why it matters today.

The book is a good read for anyone who wants to understand how technology tries to copy real human behavior and movement. Researchers, graduate students, and industry professionals will learn how Dr. Badler became an influential scientist through the valuable insights he shares.
