That's quite the question, but I don't think you can reasonably expect anything in depth here, unfortunately. You can view that question as underpinning the general umbrella to what we call "The Human Condition"; of which, various mediums - our literary canon, metaphysical texts, art - has been attempting to answer.

If you are asking what it "means" to be human in an immaterial sense, then I think classic literature and theology offers humanity's current convergent perspectives; viewing sacred texts and primitive rituals through the lens of psychological allegory can also be a meaningful way to address this.

Hmm, in that case, maybe the contemporary philosopher Byun Chul-Han's Burnout Society and/or The Scent of Time if you have not already read them provide some commentary.

At the end of the day - I'd say that I'm more interested in the continual pursuit of the question, contextualized in our current times and our current medium - as it changes over time, than I am interested in some universal objective answer or to find anything specifically in depth
