So it’s happened to me a few times in my life where I thought, “This is the next big thing in technology, but there’s no book about it.” And each time, I ended up writing the first bestseller. This feels like one of those times.

Yesterday, Joseph M. Bradley and I launched "You to the Power of Two: Redefining Human Potential in the Age of Identic AI." The book explores a profound shift already underway: AI is evolving from a set of tools to active participants in our lives - digital extensions of ourselves that can think, learn, decide, and act on our behalf. We call it "Identic AI."

We wrote this book because Identic AI will transform work, learning, creativity, health, democracy and our very concept of identity. Big opportunities, big challenges, and a lot to unpack. But the most important question remains: Who owns our digital selves, and how do we ensure humans stay in charge?

We believe this is one of the big conversations of our time, and we’re eager to build some real momentum around it. If the topic resonates, I’d be grateful if you’d consider ordering a copy (or a few… the holiday season is just around the corner!): https://t.co/uPpjPIuIzk

Please share a short review or a selfie with the book once it arrives, and I will make a big deal of it online!

I’m pretty excited to announce that my upcoming book (co-author Joseph M. Bradley) has received the prestigious Starred Review from Booklist.  "A thoughtful view of artificial intelligence and how it relates to being human . . . Those interested in technology, specifically AI, as well as educators and parents thinking about the future will be eager to read this book." —Booklist starred review

A Booklist Starred Review signals exceptional quality and broad appeal, awarded to only a small fraction of titles. It often predicts strong sales, media attention, and major library and bookstore orders—an early sign of a potential bestseller.

The book is the first to explore the next era or AI -- where the technology evolves from tools to active participants in our lives. Personal agents promise to transform how we live, work, and interact, fundamentally reshaping the institutions that underpin society.

Yet, with extraordinary promise comes extraordinary risk. The age of Identic AI poses critical dangers to individuals and humanity, not just massive job displacement and deepening inequalities, but the concentration of power in giant corporations who essentially own our digital selves.  The book argues that our digital identities must be self-sovereign, owned and controlled by each of us. A self-sovereign digital identity is not just a moral imperative—it’s a feasible goal.

The book comes out December 2, and to avoid shipping delays it’s really best to pre-order now.

Thanks so much.  I can’t wait for the discussion to begin.

OH and pre-orders are LIVE: https://t.co/Q6Rj6YLvjT
