Paperback. WINNER OF THE 2026 ERIC HOFFER MONTAIGNE MEDALWhat happens when the most powerful thinking tool ever created starts doing some of our thinking for us?Human Again: In the AI Age is a field diary from the frontlines of artificial intelligence.Canadian journalist J.D. Macpherson began experimenting with generative AI expecting a productivity tool. Instead, she found herself confronting much bigger questions: What happens to creativity when machines can create? To judgment when answers become effortless? To identity when an algorithm can imitate our voice? And how do we use AI aggressively without quietly outsourcing the very abilities that make us human?Part memoir, part cultural investigation, and part practical field guide, Human Again explores AI through fifty fast-moving chapters on creativity, work, critical thinking, relationships, burnout, originality, productivity, misinformation, attachment, and the future of human intelligence.Macpherson doesn't argue that AI will save us or destroy us. She argues that how we use it matters.Drawing on real-world experiments with ChatGPT and other generative AI tools, Human Again shows readers how to use AI as a thinking partner without surrendering judgment; ask better questions instead of accepting easy answers; protect creativity and individual voice; recognize the psychological traps of frictionless technology; and build skills that become more valuable as intelligence becomes cheaper.Winner of the 2026 Eric Hoffer Montaigne Medal and a Literary Titan Gold Book Award, Human Again has been praised by San Francisco Book Review, Midwest Book Review, Readers' Favorite, Literary Titan, and Reedsy Discovery.For readers interested in artificial intelligence, ChatGPT, creativity, technology and society, the future of work, and what it means to remain human in an increasingly automated world. An award-winning journalist explores how to use AI without outsourcing your creativity, judgment, identity, or humanity. Winner of the 2026 Montaigne Medal. This item is printed on demand.

WINNER OF THE MONTAIGNE MEDAL 2026
“Reflective nonfiction that blends personal insight with cultural critique.” — San Francisco Book ReviewAre you using AI or is AI using you?
In a world where algorithms shape thought and automation floods our daily lives, Human Again is a field-tested playbook for staying awake, original, and alive in the age of machines. Part reflection, part practical guide, it invites readers to explore identity and inspiration in real time, learning to think with AI without losing themselves in the process.
Blending cultural insight, personal experience, and practical tools, Macpherson explores how artificial intelligence is reshaping creativity, work, and identity.
Whether you are a leader, creator, or professional, you are currently in a race to define your value. This book shows how to win by mastering the one thing no algorithm can replicate: human agency.
Inside, you will discover how to:
• Ask sharper, higher-leverage questions
• Build a High Signal Question Engine to think more deeply and originally
• Use Socratic inquiry and mindfulness to protect focus
• Recognize uniquely human capacities like taste, judgment, conscience, and lived experience
• Protect your voice while everyone else starts sounding the same
• Compound clarity, creativity, and insight over time
Surviving the AI age is not enough. The real challenge is remaining human within it.
Stop being a passenger to the algorithm. Learn to use AI better than the competition while protecting the very things that make you irreplaceable.
Reclaim your edge. Become Human Again.
