Excited for this day. Pre-ordered my official copy months ago and was honored to be a recipient of an advanced, galley-copy of the book. It is a fantastic read, informative, shared in an accessible and engaging voice (the author, Zack Kass).
This book isn't just about AI, it is about humanity, promise and what our today and tomorrow hold as a result of AI, innovation and the human contributions we all bring to the equation. The Next RenAIssance: AI and the Expansion of Human Potential is one of the most thoughtful and grounded books I have read on AI. It avoids both hype and fear, and instead offers an optimistic but disciplined framework for understanding how this technology can expand human potential rather than diminish it. By placing AI in its proper historical context, the book helps readers see this moment clearly, without distortion or alarm.
What makes the book especially useful is its focus on judgment and responsibility. Zack Kass gives leaders and professionals a practical way to think about what should be automated and what should remain human, emphasizing creativity, agency, and connection. This is not a technical manual or a speculative manifesto. It is a clear, accessible guide for anyone who wants to engage AI thoughtfully and with the long view in mind.
Zack, this beautifully captures the essence of the "Augment" mindset. Leveraging AI as both a structural editor and research assistant provides unmatched support, allowing you to devote your energy to the heart of storytelling.
Your four principles offer a clear roadmap for maintaining this balance. I’m especially drawn to "Learn How to Learn" in today's rapidly evolving AI landscape, it's truly our greatest asset. Thank you for your optimism and for guiding us toward the Next RenAIssance!
Eagerly awaiting my two preorders to arrive Down Under, one for me and one for the CTO I am EA to. I love that this book comes from the perspective of humanity and how we can direct AI’s potential.
Finally your book has arrived!
