WHAT THE ALGORITHM MISSED.
Thirty essays. One argument.
We built systems that can think.
We forgot to ask what thinking was for.
This book is about the human shifts underneath the technology — ambition, meaning, identity, and judgment in an age when intelligence has become cheap and wisdom hasn't.
A non-fiction work drawn from five years of writing, building, and watching enterprises navigate transformation.
