Keep Work Human
An Unconventional Guide to a Meaningful Work Experience

Is it possible to accomplish work without humans?
Even artificial intelligence requires the hands of a human to make work happen. Keep work human is an awkward thing to say if you think too hard about it.
It begs the questions:
- What is work without humans?
- What about work is not human?
- When did work start becoming inhuman? Why?
- What does it mean to have a human work experience?
- How does an inhuman work experience change our relationship to work?
All great questions that I am seeking to shed some light on from my own experience as a 10-year veteran knowledge worker in the tech community in a new book that I will be writing in public over the next 3 months.
If you would like to follow along, you can sign up to be a review reader here.
Why write in public?
I am choosing to work on this project publicly for two reasons.
