Synopsis :

WINNER OF THE MONTAIGNE MEDAL 2026

“Reflective nonfiction that blends personal insight with cultural critique.” — San Francisco Book Review

Are 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.

À propos de l'auteur: 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.
