Human: Being Human in a World That Is Becoming Less Human (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798997305079)

We built a world that can answer almost any question. It cannot tell us what deserves our attention.

We are living through one of the most extraordinary transitions in human history. Our machines can write, remember, predict, advise, and increasingly appear to understand us. But as they become more capable, a more intimate question remains: What must remain ours?

Moving through hospital rooms, classrooms, workplaces, family kitchens, moments of loneliness, and acts of unexpected courage, HUMAN explores what technology can give us-and what no technology can live for us.

Drawing on history, psychology, medicine, social science, and deeply human stories, Justin Thomas examines attention, connection, work, childhood, judgment, love, mortality, and the choices shaping our shared future. The result is neither a warning against technology nor a celebration of it. It is an invitation to build a world in which intelligence expands without diminishing wisdom, efficiency grows without erasing dignity, and connection becomes more than contact.

Beautifully designed and illustrated, HUMAN concludes with a practical framework readers can use to protect their attention, relationships, responsibility, and capacity for wonder.

This is not a book against the future. It is a book about becoming worthy of shaping it.
