He coined the term Maybot for her malfunctioning public appearances. And now, in this edited collection of his unremittingly witty sketches, he tells the full story of Theresa May's turbulent first year in Westminster.

As AI becomes smarter and more humanlike, our societies, our economies, and our humanity will undergo the most dramatic changes we've seen since the Agricultural Revolution. Some of these changes will enhance our species. Others may dehumanize us and make us more machinelike in our interactions with others. It's up to us to adapt and determine how we want to live and work. Are you ready? In I, Human psychologist Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic offers a guide for reclaiming ourselves in a world in which most of our decisions will be made for us.

Artificial intelligence, often referred to as AI, is a rapidly evolving field that is revolutionizing the way we interact with technology. At its core, AI is the development of computer systems that can perform tasks that typically require human intelligence, such as learning, problem-solving, and decision-making. This allows machines to analyze data, recognize patterns, and make predictions, all without human intervention. AI is a broad and diverse field, encompassing a wide range of technologies and applications that have the potential to transform industries and improve our daily lives.
