This book breaks through both the hype and the doom-and-gloom surrounding automation and the deployment of artificial intelligence-enabled—“smart”—systems at work. Management and technology experts Thomas Davenport and Steven Miller show that, contrary to widespread predictions, prescriptions, and denunciations, AI is not primarily a job destroyer. Rather, AI changes the way we work—by taking over some tasks but not entire jobs, freeing people to do other, more important and more challenging work.

What does it mean to truly see another person? Fellow Human Beings is a collection of deeply human stories drawn from years of walking alongside people living with intellectual and developmental disabilities, mental illness, trauma, and profound vulnerability. These are not case studies or clinical success stories. They are lives—messy, resilient, and contradictory. Through the journeys of real people facing serious challenges, this book explores what happens at the intersection of care, power, dignity, and love.

Somewhere beneath the noise of the world, there is still a voice worth listening to — the voice of our own humanity. We live in a time where information is everywhere, yet true understanding is becoming harder to find.

We’re in a time between worlds and a time between stories. We are in a postmodern era characterized by the deconstruction of intrinsic value and the deconstruction of the Story of Value. But story is not merely a human construct that is useful for cohering society (as the postmodern zeitgeist suggests). Story is an ontology of Cosmos. Story is a First Principle and First Value of Cosmos. The deepest readings of interior and exterior sciences now demonstrate that Reality is a Story.
