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.
About the Author :
J.D. Macpherson is a journalist and author who works in the messy middle, turning complex ideas into stories people want to read. Relentless, jargon-allergic, and unmistakably human, she cuts through hype with a reporter's instinct. She's Canadian, with a background in theatre and philosophy, a habit of people-watching, and a soft spot for chicken katsu.
