In the age of the machine, it is more important than ever to defend human attributes. This book argues that human attributes are essential for a flourishing society and that we must take steps to protect them from being eroded by technology.

Human attributes are those qualities that make us uniquely human. They include our ability to think critically, to solve problems, to create, to communicate, and to empathize. These attributes are essential for our survival and for our well-being.

However, technology is rapidly changing the way we live and work. Machines are becoming increasingly sophisticated and are able to perform tasks that were once thought to be impossible. This is leading to concerns that human attributes will be eroded by technology, resulting in a society of automatons.

This book argues that these concerns are unfounded. Human attributes are not simply the product of our biology. They are also the product of our culture and our education. As such, they can be nurtured and developed through intentional effort.

This book provides a roadmap for defending human attributes in the age of the machine. It argues that we must:

Invest in education that develops critical thinking, problem-solving, creativity, communication, and empathy.
Create workplaces that value and reward human attributes.
Design technologies that augment human abilities rather than replace them.
Promote a culture that celebrates human diversity and creativity.

By taking these steps, we can ensure that human attributes continue to thrive in the age of the machine.
