Learn why the "Kangaroo Defense" is your best bet against automation.The Myth of Private Data: Why "Secondhand Privacy" means your neighbor's data habits are actually dangerous to your wallet.The Green Mountain Deception: A story of green paint, government fraud, and the moment technology made painting mountains impractical.How this book was made: This book doesn't just write about the future of work; it simulated it. This manuscript is a collaboration between silicon and carbon: AI served as the ghostwriter, maximizing efficiency.The Author specified the logic, stories, structure, and soul.Human Professionals (editors and cover artist) provided the polish and nuance.This is more than a book. It is a guide to the future and an example of the future itself. This item is printed on demand.

“Concise, chatty, companionable, ever-so-savvy. There may be a more useful guide to AI out there, but why incur the opportunity cost of searching for it? The first three pages should sell you on this one. I decline most blurb requests but, having covered AI from the jump, this is as good as it gets.”
—Paul Solman
(very) longtime Business & Economics Correspondent, PBS News Hour
