In addition to my research papers, I have written two popular-scientific books. Oorlogsbrieven was published by uitgeverij Atlas Contact in February 2016. Hallo Robot came out in November 2017 at uitgeverij Nieuw Amsterdam and was translated into English (published by Canbury Press in late 2018) and Simplified Chinese (published by United Sky (Beijing) New Media in 2024).
