In More Than Words: How to Think About Writing in the Age of AI, veteran writing teacher and author of Why They Can’t Write: Killing the Five-Paragraph Essay and Other Necessities, John Warner unpacks this feeling by deeply exploring what writing is and how the development of AI has impacted how we do it. Rather than seeing AI as entirely good or bad, Warner argues that the technology can be used as an effective lens to analyze writing. Warner defines writing as a process of thinking – discovering your ideas while trying to capture them on a page – and feeling – grappling with what it fundamentally means to be human. More Than Words calls for us to use AI as an opportunity to reckon with how we work with words – and how all of us should rethink our relationship with writing.
Join us for a 4-week virtual, author-facilitated, communal reading experience on John Warner’s book, More Than Words: How to Think About Writing in the Age of AI. Part of Perusall Exchange® 2025: Why Reading Matters to the Future of Learning.
