Straight lines beat curves; curves have no interest in straight lines
Publisher Phaidon has released a book by former KT marketing chief Nam Gyu-taek (남규택) focusing on human values that technology cannot replace in the AI era.

The book contrasts a workplace world driven by efficiency and results with a post-work world shaped by relationships, warning that confusing the rules of the two leads to lost footing at work and lost trust in life.
