This little book isn't about how AI works, it's about how AI works on you; its five short, thought-provoking essays are intended to get you thinking about AI in new and perhaps challenging ways. The essays aren't about technology but rather psychology, history, politics, religion, and other qualities of our personal and shared human experience. Why do we hear authority when our devices speak? What do we give up in order for AI to know us better? Where's the line between an AI making a suggestion and managing what it thinks we want or should do? How do our lives change if we are no longer ever alone, and what happens to the potential for our collective action if we're always watched? It's not enough to learn how to use it. We need to talk about how it uses us.
