Survival Guide for the AI Apocalypse
The world is reorganising itself around artificial intelligence, and most of what you read about it is either a sales pitch or a panic attack. Survival Guide for the AI Apocalypse is the field manual for that reality.
Written by Adrian Dunkley, an insider who has spent close to two decades building, deploying, and governing AI systems, it is not a hype book and not a doom book. It is the defensive playbook for the person who has to keep their job, their mind, their money, their family, and their sense of self intact while everything around them changes.
No forecasting contest about when the robots arrive. No jargon. Just what is actually changing, what it does to the five things you cannot afford to lose, and the specific moves that keep each one intact. Open to the front you are losing, run the plays, close the book.
