Artificial Intelligence: Surviving the Revolution Without Losing Our Humanity

Are we mastering our technology, or is it mastering us?

We live in a world of exponential speed, algorithmic feeds, and automated convenience. But beneath the glittering interface of the digital age, a quiet trade-off is taking place. In Artificial Intelligence: Surviving the Revolution Without Losing Our Humanity, author Lenny Piazza delivers an urgent, clear-eyed examination of the AI revolution—cutting through the tech-hype to ask the most important question of our time: How do we govern a force that accelerates exponentially when our tools for control move at a crawl?

Whether you are a professional navigating a shifting economy, a parent worried about digital distraction, or simply someone who has ever looked up from a screen and wondered where our shared reality went, this book provides the framework we need before our own inventions decide the future for us.
