The reationale for this revolution has remained largely unchanged: machines will make education more efficent. In this book, Sean Michael Morris and Jesse Stommel argue for a different future - one in which dignity is prioritized over efficiency, one in which agency and freedom are prioritized over compliance and control.

What can it do?
In positing pedagogy – critical pedagogy specifically – as a lever for change, the authors ask us to join them in resisting the stories that machines have wants and needs, and that their logic dictates the shape of the future. Instead, they urge us to center care and justice in our practices – to center humans – knowing that this will require a radical re-ordering of the priorities of our institutions and ideologies as well.
