The AI Culture Shock How Artificial Intelligence Is Silently Transforming Our Lives, Values, and Human Connections By J.M. Bonthous Artificial intelligence isn't just reshaping the workplace—it's reshaping us . In The AI Culture Shock , communication expert J.M. Bonthous offers a clear, compelling, and deeply human look at how AI is quietly altering our families, emotions, rituals, trust, and cultural norms—often without us even noticing. This is not a technical manual. It’s a cultural roadmap. Bonthous takes readers beyond the usual headlines about job automation and killer robots to examine the subtle ways AI is embedded into everyday life: from parenting with smart toys to grieving with digital memorials, from romantic chatbots to AI-generated art, from algorithmic surveillance in the home to deepfakes in the news cycle. Structured across seven parts—spanning home life, society, identity, work, media, language, and the future—this book combines global case studies, ethical insights, reflection prompts, and practical tips. It is both timely and timeless, offering readers the tools to recognize the cultural shifts already underway—and to reclaim agency within them. Whether you're an educator, parent, artist, community leader, or simply a curious observer of the digital age, The AI Culture Shock is essential reading for understanding the quiet revolution reshaping how we think, feel, relate, and live. Perfect for readers of Sherry Turkle, Yuval Noah Harari, and Naomi Klein. "This is not a warning—it’s a map. Not of what AI is, but of what it’s doing to us—and what we might choose to do in return." — J.M. Bonthous
