Think Again: On Ai, Mountains, and Intuition

By Heather Dawe

Heather Dawe brings artificial intelligence into conversation with mountain experience, asking what data can tell us and what still depends on intuition and attention.

Set partly in Scotland's Cairngorm Mountains, Think Again moves between questions about AI and the experience of being in wild places. Dawe considers objectivity, machine intelligence and the appeal of systems that promise to make the world legible, then sets those ideas against the knowledge that comes through the body, memory and direct observation.

The Cairngorm landscape associated with Nan Shepherd provides an important point of reference. Dawe's own paintings of the Scottish Highlands add another way of looking, making the book as interested in creativity and perception as it is in technology.

Written for readers curious about AI, environmental thought and contemporary nature writing, Think Again asks how technological tools change the way we understand the world without assuming that everything worth knowing can be reduced to data.
