A leading AI expert and accomplished nature writer examines the intersection of technology, intuition, and the natural world in a bold, lyrical look at wilderness in the modern world.

In Think Again, Heather Dawe draws on her experiences in the Cairngorm Mountains and the inspiration of Nan Shepherd’s The Living Mountain to explore the forces shaping artificial intelligence, the challenges of objectivity, and the human drive for meaning. Interweaving personal reflection, scientific insight, and philosophical inquiry, Dawe shares her journey of creativity, self-discovery, and reconnection with the wild.

Accompanied by a visual appendix of her original colour paintings of the Cairngorms, Think Again is a thought-provoking meditation on technology, nature, and selfhood. It will resonate with readers interested in AI ethics, mountain memoir, environmental philosophy, and the ways we navigate modern life with curiosity, presence, and care.

For fans of Robert Macfarlane, Robin Wall Kimmerer, and Nan Shepherd, this reflective, intellectually rich work bridges intellect and intuition, offering a fresh perspective on our relationship with the natural world and the technologies that increasingly shape it.

“As we hurtle toward a possible dystopia of tech oligarchy, data surveillance, and ecological disaster, Think Again makes a compelling argument for an urgent shift away from a mechanistic view of intelligence that reduces living beings to profitable object toward a recognition, instead, of the wildness, creativity, and mysteries that remain within both mountains and minds, qualities that might help save our ecosystems and ourselves.” —Katie Ives, author of Imaginary Peaks: The Riesenstein Hoax and Other Mountain Dreams

“This book does what its title asks—it gives shivers, goosebumps, and the quiet shock of recognition. I feel endorsed: My rational, godless self can coexist with intuition, animism, a felt aliveness in everything. As a beginner, I learn AI simply and clearly; I watch Heather think and, alongside her, find myself thinking again.” —Nandini Purandare, co-author of Headstrap: Legends and Lore from the Climbing Sherpas of Darjeeling

“Heather Dawe is a true polymath. Analytical but embodied, written from experience, researched with care, co-authored with landscape, Think Again transcends binary thinking. This is a strikingly original piece of work that we urgently need, and there is no author who could have met the challenge better than Dawe. You won’t read another book like it.” —Helen Mort, author of The Illustrated Woman and A Line Above The Sky
