Human Again: In the AI Age

Human Again: In the AI Age is a field diary from the frontlines of artificial intelligence. With humor, rigor, and a reporter's instinct, journalist J.D. Macpherson explores how machines are reshaping creativity, identity, work, and meaning. Written in a clear, narrative-driven voice, the book blends cultural analysis, lived experimentation, and practical tools for navigating today's shifting modern world.

Macpherson asks a question that defines our moment: Are you using AI, or is AI using you? Through personal trials, sharp insights, and dozens of real-world experiments, she reveals how to partner with AI models without becoming one, how to build a moat around individuality, and how to remain human in a landscape optimized for speed and sameness.
