Pure Human Braden Gregg (2026)

In an age when technologies such as AI threaten to supplant human intelligence, an award-winning scientist offers a radical new view of our innate human technology and what we are truly capable of. Scientists, engineers, and philosophers warn that without a fundamental shift in our thinking, we may become the last generation of pure humans, giving way within a single generation to a hybrid species of synthetic bodies, artificial intelligence, and computer chips that limit our ability to think, love, and adapt healthily to an emerging world. In the process, we could lose our capacity for emotion, empathy, intimacy, and forgivenessthe very qualities we value in our humanity. Do we love ourselves enough to preserve the gift of being human? This compelling journey of self-discovery takes readers beyond conventional thinking about their origins, limitations, hidden abilities, and the extraordinary potential awaiting them.
