    AI can think. But can it ever be conscious? 
    And what if we've misunderstood what it means to be human all along? 
    As artificial intelligence advances, this question is no longer theoretical—it's defining our future. 
    This isn't a book about artificial intelligence. 
    It's about the one thing machines may never have— 
    experience. 
    We've spent decades measuring intelligence—processing power, learning speed, problem-solving. 
    But consciousness is something else entirely. 
    It is not just thinking. 
    It is experience. 
    In I Am; Therefore I Think, JP Pulcini explores the line between:Intelligence and awarenessComputation and experienceSimulation and consciousnessMemory and identityHuman imagination and machine generation 
    Drawing from philosophy, neuroscience, artificial intelligence, and the lived realities of human experience, this book asks whether consciousness can truly be reduced to code—or whether something essential is lost when thought is separated from embodiment, memory, emotion, and mortality. 
    I Am; Therefore I Think is a timely exploration of AI, consciousness, identity, and what it means to remain human in an age increasingly shaped by AI.

    The irresistible, ever-curious, and always bestselling Mary Roach returns with a new adventure to the invisible realm we carry around inside. 
     
    "America’s funniest science writer" (Washington Post) takes us down the hatch on an unforgettable tour. The alimentary canal is classic Mary Roach terrain: the questions explored in Gulp are as taboo, in their way, as the cadavers in Stiff and every bit as surreal as the universe of zero gravity explored in Packing for Mars. Why is crunchy food so appealing? Why is it so hard to find words for flavors and smells? Why doesn't the stomach digest itself? How much can you eat before your stomach bursts? Can constipation kill you? Did it kill Elvis? In Gulp we meet scientists who tackle the questions no one else thinks of―or has the courage to ask. We go on location to a pet-food taste-test lab, a fecal transplant, and into a live stomach to observe the fate of a meal. With Roach at our side, we travel the world, meeting murderers and mad scientists, Eskimos and exorcists (who have occasionally administered holy water rectally), rabbis and terrorists―who, it turns out, for practical reasons do not conceal bombs in their digestive tracts. 
     
    Like all of Roach's books, Gulp is as much about human beings as it is about human bodies.
