For the first time in history, we are interacting with computer programmers so sophisticated that we think they're human beings.

This is a remarkable feat of human ingenuity, but what does it say about our humanity? Are we really no better at being human than the machines we've created? Brian Christian explores first-hand the urgent moral and practical implications of this remarkable development. Drawing on science, philosophy, literature and the arts, and touching on aspects of life as diverse as language, work, school, chess, speed-dating, art, video games, psychiatry and the law, The Most Human Human shows that far from being a threat to our humanity, computers provide a better means than ever before of understanding what it is.
