Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. In the first half of 2026, more tech workers were laid off than in all of 2025 combined. Every one of them a soul with a real life. The companies that cut them were spending $725 billion on AI.This book is about the people in the middle of that math.There are two kinds of books about AI and work right now. One tells you not to worry. The other tells you to panic. This is neither.The Last Human in the Room is not really a book about AI. AI is the context. The urgency. The reason this conversation is happening at this volume, right now. The book is about the gap underneath it - the distance between what human beings need in order to thrive and what most organizations are actually built to provide.Ann Thai names the cost out loud: The layoff that arrived with no name attached.The burnout you keep pushing through.The slow realization that you were never the priority.Then she does the harder thing. She shows you where your value actually lives - not in the parts of your work a machine can do, but in the six human skills that become more valuable the more AI does, and in the one that holds up all the others: knowing exactly who you are.She makes the case for what organizations truly owe their people, and for the most AI-proof role most companies still refuse to build.AI is not the end of your value. It is a pressure test of where your value actually lives. And it turns out your value lives somewhere no algorithm can touch.You were not a cost to be cut. You were not wrong to care that much. You were just in the wrong room.The last human in the room is not disappearing. They are becoming the most important person in it.This book shows you how to be that person - not in theory, but in the moments that actually decide it. The next meeting. The next hard conversation. The next time someone needs you to show up fully and you have to choose.The six skills are here. The real scenarios are here. What you do with them is yours. This item is printed on demand.
