Still Human

Awakening Your Deep Self in the Age of AI

By: Marcus T Anthony

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Still Human: Awakening Your Deep Self in the Age of AI is a substantially revised and updated edition of Marcus T. Anthony’s Power and Presence, first published in 2023.

Since that book appeared, the technological landscape has changed dramatically. Generative AI has moved rapidly into writing, education, work, creativity, media and everyday life, while increasingly sophisticated digital systems compete for our attention and shape how we think, communicate and understand ourselves. Still Human has therefore been extensively rewritten and expanded to address the challenges and possibilities of this emerging age.

At the heart of the book is a simple question: How do we remain deeply human in a world increasingly mediated by intelligent machines?

Drawing upon psychology, mindfulness, futures studies, digital culture, personal experience and more than three decades of exploration of consciousness and human potential, Anthony introduces the concept of the Deep Self and its five pillars: Embodied Presence, Mental and Emotional Responsibility, Mastery of the System, Integrated Intelligence and Wise Action.

Still Human is ultimately a practical and philosophical guide to reclaiming attention, agency and authenticity—while learning to use technology without allowing technology to use us.
