'Code Dependent is the intimate investigation of AI that we've been waiting for, and it arrives not a moment too soon.' - Shoshana Zuboff, author of The Age of Surveillance Capitalism

'Murgia explores what the rise of AI means for us as a society by looking at the impact it has on nine ordinary people around the world.' - BBC Culture, '2024's Most Anticipated Books'


Technology that marks children as future criminals. An app bringing medical diagnoses to a remote tribal community. In this propulsive, illuminating work, Madhumita Murgia, AI editor for the Financial Times, shows how automated systems are reshaping lives all over the world.

What does it mean to be human in a world that is rapidly changing thanks to the development of artificial intelligence, of automated decision-making that both draws on and influences our behaviour?

Through the voices of ordinary people in places far removed from Silicon Valley, Code-Dependent explores the impact of a set of powerful, flawed, and often exploitative technologies on individuals, communities, and our wider society. Murgia exposes how AI can strip away our collective and individual sense of agency - and shatter our illusion of free will.

Murgia not only sheds light on this chilling phenomenon, but also charts a path of resistance. AI is already changing what it means to be human, in ways large and small. In this compelling work, Murgia reveals what could happen if we fail to reclaim our humanity.

'Brilliant story telling. Books about AI often put the tech centre stage but Murgia makes you, the human, the hero and sadly often the victim in this fascinating collection of stories about the impact of code on our future.' - Marcus du Sautoy, author of The Creativity Code
