Emotional Intelligence in an Automated World
Machines are getting smarter. Here’s how to make sure we get wiser.
Your fridge knows you’re out of milk. Your phone knows you’ll be late. But who knows how you really are?
As AI takes over more of what we do, the most valuable skills left are the human ones: reading a room, naming a feeling, sitting with a friend in the hard part, and switching off long enough to rest. Still Human is a witty, practical field guide to protecting and growing those skills. It isn’t anti-technology. It’s about living well alongside it.
Drawing on philosophy, psychology and real-world stories, Katie and Molly (The Fairies) explore what machines can’t feel, what our online lives are doing to us, why anxiety acts like a smoke alarm that goes off every time you make toast, and why wonder might be the most underrated skill of the AI age.
Inside:
10 chapters across three parts: The Changing World, The Inner World and The Shared World
“Field Notes” stories showing the ideas at work in everyday life
A “Still Human Practice” at the end of each chapter, with space to write your own notes
A closing parable, The Lighthouse Keeper
Perfect for: anyone feeling overwhelmed, overconnected or uneasy about AI, and leaders, teams and educators who want a more human workplace.
