Human + Machine

This work provides a concise synthesis of the key insights and analysis from Human + Machine. It is an independent summary, not the original book, and has no affiliation with or endorsement from the original publication. Created for readers who want a clear, thought-provoking overview, it distills the central themes and ideas while preserving the depth and relevance of the work.

This book presents a vision of collaboration between humans and machines, where artificial intelligence augments rather than replaces human capabilities. It introduces the concept of the "missing middle," a space where human ingenuity and machine intelligence intersect to reimagine work, roles, and decision-making. With practical examples across industries, it explores how organizations can redesign workflows to achieve greater efficiency, creativity, and responsibility.
