Tomorrow's the day. Image Bearers is out. 🎉
I've been quietly working on this one for a long time, and I'm honestly a little emotional about it finally being a real thing you can hold.
It started with a question I couldn't put down: if a machine can write, diagnose, compose, and console — what's left that makes us human? I've spent forty years building technology companies and the last stretch building AI, so it's not an abstract worry for me. It's what I do all day.
The book is my attempt at an answer. Not a doom story, not a hype story — something more hopeful than either, about a dignity that doesn't depend on being the smartest thing in the room.
I'll say one thing plainly, because the book itself argues for honesty: I used AI to help write it, openly, with my hands on every page. It seemed dishonest to write about living well alongside these tools and then pretend I hadn't.
If you've been around me these last couple of years and put up with me thinking out loud about this — thank you. You're a bigger part of it than you know.

If you read it, tell me what you think. Honestly. Especially where you think I'm wrong.
