Description
In a near-future world where AI has reshaped work, creativity, and power, a “reverse centaur”—part human, part system—learns how to live, build, and resist without surrendering agency. Blending practical guidance with sharp cultural critique, this book follows the evolving relationship between people and intelligent tools as the author explores what it means to remain authors of our own lives. Through accessible, idea-driven essays and scenario-based thinking, it examines themes of autonomy, labor, surveillance, and the ethics of automation—asking how we can design technology that serves human flourishing rather than replacing it. With Cory Doctorow’s distinctive, fast-moving style and activist sensibility, the result is both a roadmap and a provocation: a call to treat AI as infrastructure we can govern, not destiny we must obey.
