Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For readers of Sapiens and Homo Deus and viewers of The Social Dilemma, psychologist Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic tackles one of the biggest questions facing our species: Will we use artificial intelligence to improve the way we work and live, or will we allow it to alienate us? It's no secret that AI is changing the way we live, work, love, and entertain ourselves. Dating apps are using AI to pick our potential partners. Retailers are using AI to predict our behavior and desires. Rogue actors are using AI to persuade us with bots and misinformation. Companies are using AI to hire us—or not. In I, Human psychologist Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic takes readers on an enthralling and eye-opening journey across the AI landscape. Though AI has the potential to change our lives for the better, he argues, AI is also worsening our bad tendencies, making us more distracted, selfish, biased, narcissistic, entitled, predictable, and impatient. It doesn't have to be this way. Filled with fascinating insights about human behavior and our complicated relationship with technology, I, Human will help us stand out and thrive when many of our decisions are being made for us. To do so, we'll need to double down on our curiosity, adaptability, and emotional intelligence while relying on the lost virtues of empathy, humility, and self-control. This is just the beginning. As AI becomes smarter and more humanlike, our societies, our economies, and our humanity will undergo the most dramatic changes we've seen since the Industrial Revolution. Some of these changes will enhance our species. Others may dehumanize us and make us more machinelike in our interactions with people. It's up to us to adapt and determine how we want to live and work. The choice is ours. What will we decide?

Book excerpt: The author’s 1988 novel, Transformations, told the story of a young geneticist who wanted to root out and replace the human species’ more unsavory character traits. But he found himself part of an experiment by advance beings who revealed the real inner-workings of human evolution as self-transcendence. Twenty-five years later, after the themes of transhumanism, its peril and its hope, have been bandied about by authors of every stripe, Nelson revisits these themes in I, Human. Set in the “Brave New World” of the late 21st century, most everyone has neural implants that have raised average I.Q.s to 200 plus and monitor one’s activities. The downside is they suppress feelings and intuition and are causing massive emotional breakdowns among the techno elites. This sets the stage for Alan Reynard and his journey from callous transhuman to a feeling-oriented Intuitive. Fitted with an experimental processor, he infiltrates a “borny” village to discover the secrets of its spiritual healers. Having lost the ability to program integrative functioning, his superiors hope Reynard’s processing can rectify this deficit and save their society...

Her unconventional love unbolts her lifes lynchpins, to seemingly mock her professional endeavours. This love confronts her work in the Commission and the core of who she is. The entwining of her professional life and her private life shapes her Commissions monumental report. The story blends her struggles to unite tensions from the Commissioners and pressures from Delegates to identify universal human traits to be inculcated into human clones. Some Delegates cannot see the new way of the world as it is now much less as it will be tomorrow. At the same time, her life story twists and turns so unexpectedly as to be unimaginable, except that it happens. Come and immerse yourself in Rachels life both public and private.

Book excerpt: 'I, Human? is George Orwell in Wonderland with robots who sing Zeppelin songs.It is a satirical sci-fi allegory that tackles a taboo at the heart of human experience: the subconscious voice inside every one of us that screams, relentlessly, over and over, at every turn in this anxiety-inducing society, ?Why, why, WHY?It takes place on the planet Cur. It travels back and forth between three time periods: the time of the humans, the time of the robots, and now.The psychology of the book is based on the work of Dr. John Sarno, who pioneered some of the science behind the mind-body connection in the mid-twentieth century. Dr. Sarno was first to diagnose TMS, or tension myositis syndrome, which correlates physical pain to subconscious turmoil.All characters (humans and robots) in ?I, Human? exhibit physical manifestations of their own subconscious anxiety as they navigate their absurd societies. Humans spit, snort, rub chins, cock eyebrows, and nod. Robots stomp, flail their arms, pat their heads, and spazz from their lower backs. These physical manifestations are referred to as ?glitches.' They are very much at the heart of the book.'I, Human? seeks to penetrate the reader's subconscious to exercise forgotten parts of the brain in hopes of encouraging the reader to better see the subconscious root of its own glitches.To help reach into the subconscious, robots and humans play music throughout the book, to which a reader can click to listen along as they read. The book also reads like a poem written by a robot, with mostly gender-neutral characters, to further push the reader's boundaries subconsciously. Lastly, the book leaves physical descriptions up to the reader by engaging them directly in the theater of second-person mind.'I, Human? hopes to serve as a reminder of the importance of the subconscious and the pressures society exerts on it, lest we forget its vital role in our humanity entirely.It also hopes to get more people to listen to Zeppelin.
