What happens when the machine learns your voice?
Ghosting the Machine explores the strange, exhilarating and deeply unsettling experience of creating with artificial intelligence. From books and digital learning to music, film and design, AI can now imitate our style, extend our ideas and produce in minutes what once demanded months of work.
But when the result is brilliant, who deserves the credit?
Drawing on his experience as a writer, songwriter and digital learning designer, David Mc Pherson examines the rapidly disappearing boundary between human creativity and machine production. He revisits songs recorded in 1998 and feeds them into an AI music composer, transforming forgotten demos into polished productions. The results are astonishing, but they raise an uncomfortable question: is the finished music still his?
This is not a book about rejecting AI. It is about using it without surrendering the imagination, experience and emotional truth that make creative work human.
Honest, provocative and grounded in real experimentation, Ghosting the Machine confronts the new authenticity crisis facing writers, musicians, designers and creators everywhere. It asks what authorship means when machines can write, compose, illustrate and speak for us.
The machine can reproduce your voice.
The real challenge is making sure it does not replace it.

About the Author
David Mc Pherson is a learning and development leader and a digital learning designer with decades of experience creating learning solutions for global organisations.
He has built corporate academies, led international design teams, and developed digital learning for workforces of more than 35,000 employees across multiple countries and brands. His work spans leadership development, onboarding, compliance, professional skills training, product development, eLearning and AI-supported learning modules.
When he wanted to formalise decades of training experience with a Diploma in learning design, he was the first to achieve distinctions, in a cohort of 16, in each project assignment, another example of his passion for learning design pushing boundaries.
Having worked as an educator for his entire professional life, he combines practical experience with a deep interest in how people learn. He is particularly interested in the ways artificial intelligence is changing instructional design, workplace learning and the role of the modern learning professional, which led to his first book.
His writing challenges outdated approaches to elearning design and explores how organisations can use technology without losing the human purpose of learning.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to AHA-BUCH GmbH, Einbeck, Germany, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
