The Human Advantage
What We Still Do Better Than Machines
Every generation of machines has been sold as the end of human usefulness. Every generation has been wrong — but never for the reasons people expected.
The Human Advantage is a field guide to the capabilities that still belong to people: judgment under uncertainty, taste, persuasion, care, and the stubborn ingenuity that turns constraints into inventions. Drawing on research in cognition and the real history of automation, it makes a practical case for how to work, hire and learn in the age of capable machines — not by racing them, but by doubling down on what they cannot reach.
