Madhumita Murgia

A BBC Culture Most Anticipated Book of 2024

What does it mean to be human in a world that is rapidly changing thanks to the development of artificial intelligence, of automated decision-making that both draws on and influences our behaviour?

Through the voices of ordinary people in places far removed from Silicon Valley, Code Dependent explores the impact of a set of powerful, flawed, and often exploitative technologies on individuals, communities, and our wider society. Madhumita Murgia, AI Editor at the FT, exposes how AI can strip away our collective and individual sense of agency – and shatter our illusion of free will. AI is already changing what it means to be human, in ways large and small.

In this compelling work, Murgia reveals what could happen if we fail to reclaim our humanity.
