“Honest, thought-provoking, & genuine”
Does your brain ever feel overloaded, distracted, or “always on”?
You’re not imagining it. Today’s tech is rewiring us in ways our minds were never built for.
AI organizes our lives, finishes our sentences, and nudges us toward what it “thinks” we want. It’s impressive… but also overwhelming. Many of us feel more scattered, anxious, and disconnected than ever.
Still Human is a practical, honest, and often humorous guide to staying grounded in a world that never stops thinking. Product manager, writer, and mental health advocate Chris Cage explores how modern technology shapes our attention, emotions, and sense of identity — and what we can do to reclaim clarity in the middle of it all.
