About the book:

More Than Words argues that generative AI programs like ChatGPT not only can kill the student essay but should, since these assignments don’t challenge students to do the real work of writing. To Warner, writing is 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.
